So, I had my 9 month - post radiation - MRI today. It was long and loud (as always) except this time I got to have it in one of those 'open' MRI's (not the capsule/tube). That thing is SO much better than the other. It took about an hour - halfway through I got the dye for contrast and then I was done. I don't know why but I am always drained after I have them. Maybe from getting all hyped up about it or from all that zapping to my head.....for whatever the reason, I am glad it's over.
Tomorrow I meet w/my awesome Neurosurgeon for the results. It can't come soon enough. I have been waiting for this day for 9 months. I am anxious, nervous, scared - all the above! I am trying to have faith that no matter what the results, I will deal with it and handle it. I have so much love from friends and family I can't even describe what a difference it's made through this whole journey. Without it, I can certainly say I wouldn't have handled it the way I did.
To all of you that have been following my journey, praying for me, calling, texting, emailing, etc.....THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

I need lots of them right now so I am calling all angels to surround me and for God to fill me with patience, love and faith.
Night and until tomorrow.....!! :)

**On another note, I chopped my hair off and donated my locks for charity this past Friday. I did it 3 1/2 years ago for "Locks of Love" and this time for "Pantene." Pantene makes wigs for women who have lost their hair due to cancer. Because I was lucky to not lost any hair during radiation, I am grateful that I could donate it for such a worthy cause. For all the women, children, babies, men who have fought much harder journeys than mine, this is such a small token of my admiration for you. Sorry the pix are backwards!! Couldn't figure out how to change them! :(
I went onto your FB like 5 times last night waiting to hear/see what happened when I finally remembered that you have to wait overnight & saw your comments on that. LOL! You're so brave. What an inspiration. I have confidence in my heart that everything will work out fine for you!! XOXO
