Scan results and life...

I haven't posted very much, but I have so much to share.  I really need to post pictures.  I have been so busy just trying to get the strength and jump back into MY AMAZING LIFE with both feet.  My girls keep me busy doing crafts, running them to lessons and school, playing games, and catching up on everything else we missed out on the last two years.  We count our blessing daily that we are together and are able to do whatever we want to with our days.  You should hear the prayers of gratitude offered several times a day at our house.  My kids don't miss a chance to bless my health and thank Heavenly Father for having their mom back.  It warms my heart!!!
I am also happy to report that today I officially played my tennis match since early last September.  I have tried to get back on court but have taken it very easy with limited play and movement in simple classes.  Today, I played a doubles match and felt SO thrilled to be able to.  I almost tripped on my dumb numb legs twice...but didn't....and it felt so good just to play.  I am even forming a competitive team that will start intense practicing...just because I can!
There are still no treatment options for me at this time...but I am grateful the CT scan results I just got.  My scans have never been able to detect my cancer...so I knew they wouldn't see that...but the ascites (fluid in my abdomen) that I have had the last year has mostly all reabsorbed...and that was great news.  That means my organs are healing and not distressed and pumping out fluid from the trauma.  They are healing...it is truly amazing.  My liver, for example...was poisoned, severely burned, then had a big cancerous part of it removed.  That caused problems with its function...my counts have all been off for quite some time.  This ct showed healing..and my labs are miraculously returning to normal.  The body is such an amazing gift.  I am eating healthy, fighting my cancer with nutrition and FAITH...and will be as strong as I can until a new treatment surfaces.  I am feeling better each day...and I feel so blessed!!!!!!!!
