My Mom is OK! She is OK, I still cant beleive it, I dont know what to do, I want to throw up, I want to, and did, cry. I feel like squeeling and jumping around. Mom is ok… She just called me, she just visited the oncologist. She was supposed to start the next round of chemo this week. She had tons and TONS of tests and scans and xrays this past week, and the doctor told her that they didnt need to treat it anymore . He warned her that “it will come back ‘someday’…” and he sent her home. She is happily planning her new start…eating healthy, exercise, rest…oh god, I am not gonna lose her! I want to thank you all SO much for all your good wishes, I cant help but think it must have helped in some cosmic way. I know the cancer will come back for her someday…but TODAY, right now, at this moment, my Mom is OK. MY MOM IS OK!!! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE ---

Kelli– I remember when you first told us about your mom. I told you the story of my grandfather, who was given three or four months to live with colon cancer back in 1990, and is still alive today. At the time it didn’t seem as if there was much hope for him, just as it was with your mom. But he’s fine now, and for all the doctors saying that the cancer would come back, it never has. I hope the same is true for your mom. I know how much you’ve been through lately, and I’m glad your prayers have been answered. Maybe, because of this, some hip-hop star, somewhere, will sell a few less albums. _sniff_ ---

Ah, good news all 'round. My father just got through a bout of bladder cancer, and thankfully after removing his bladder, they found no trace of cancer anywhere else, so no chemo, no radio, nothing (well, except the inconvenience of two surgeries and not having a major internal organ and whatnot). Congrats, kelli - I know _exactly_ how you feel! 😃 Esprix * * * [Ask the Gay Guy!](http://boards.straightdope.com/ubb/Forum7/HTML/001376.html) ---
