Scan report…and touching story to share

From Incurable to Incredible is spreading hope to people who need it

From Incurable to Incredible is spreading hope to people who need it

Mike and I went to my oncologists today to talk with him about my scan results and our surgery consultation. The good news is that it seems the Aromasin is holding everything at bay. Nothing grew, and the PET scan showed no cancer activity in the spots there. 

But my doc seemed surprised the surgeon recommended cutting out the tumor in my liver. He didn’t see the point of doing it if I have cancer in other places. He seemed happy that we’re seeking a second opinion.

Opportunities to market From Incurable to Incredible keep growing (see the News and Events page), and I’ve heard some wonderful feedback from people who have read the book. This is from my friend Alyson who bought a book for a friend whose daughter is going through leukemia treatments:

Thank you so much for the book for my friend Monica whose daughter has leukemia. She loved the book and said that it was such a healing and transformative experience for her.  It really helped her and she is so grateful to you for writing it.

Her daughter went through a bone marrow transplant last month and has developed some type of condition as a result. But Monica said that the book is really helping her through it. She plans on revisiting it often while her daughter goes through the healing process and then probably many times after that, as well. She also said that she would reccomend it to anybody who is experiencing issues with cancer.

This email came a the best time for me. My daughter just returned from Camp Kesem and expressed fears she has had about my cancer. It’s hard enough for me seeing my daughter in emotional pain; I can’t imagine dealing with a child’s cancer diagnosis.

It made my day to hear that the book helping  this woman in her time of need. It made me even more motivated to keep plugging away at getting the word out to as many people as possible. You can help, too. If you’ve read the book and liked it, please recommend it to someone who needs hope and/or put a review on Amazon or BarnesandNoble.com.

    So glad to hear that your scan was good and the cancer isn’t growing.
    And isn’t it wonderful that your book is doing for others what it has done for you in its development? Makes me believe even more that it is exactly what you were supposed to so.
    And I am sorry that you feel pain for Chrissy’s fears- I guess the good news is that she shares it with you. Hang in there –
