More good news - OT

Jun 04, 2006 20 Replies

Hi all, I just wanted to share some good news I got this week. Some of you may remember I've been having chemo and stem cell treatment over the last 6 months.



Well this week my para-protein level (the nasty stuff) is down to ZERO. 6 months ago the level was at 48 when it should be less than 1, so this is great news.



And to celebrate my friend and I are off to Margaret River one of the best wine regions of Western Australia for a few days R&R. Not that I will be sampling much wine cos my system isn't quite up to that yet, but it will be nice to get away. Must try to find a quilt shop while I'm there.



In the meantime my stash will be guarded by the ferocious guard cat who will probably open the door for you and park himself on your lap should you even look like sitting down :-)))



Have a great week. I'll check in when I get back

Can you hear me cheering and hip-hip-hooraying over in the East?

So very very happy for your good news. Have fun at MR. Bring back a bottle or two for later consumption.

Knew a cat in Darwin years ago (named by an Air Traffic Controller so her name was "Cahrlie Alpha Tango" of course!) who loved a little diced croc fillet as a treat. Of course Charlie did live in the back bar of the O'Mess so she was not just any cat.

Yipppeeee!!! That's wonderful news!!!

Anyone want to see how much fabric my new Element will hold? I know where we can find some catnip......

Does that element float?

Woohoo to the great news Heather. You deserve it. Happy hugs to you. TAria

Heather I just loved reading your wonderful news and hope you do enjoy the R andR you deserve. Maybe just a little tipple!! lol

That is really great news! I hope your R & R trip gives your thoughts a vacation, as well as your body. It really should be a nice get away.

That is wonderful news Heather - I hope you have a well-deserved little vacation.

Oh, Heather, what absolutely *terrific* news! I'm so happy for you that I'll drink a glass of wine (later) in your honor. :D

Howdy!

Yee-Haw, Heather! Glad to hear of the progress.

Have a great celebration and don't worry at all about that stash or the cute little kitty standing guard (does she prefer fish or cream?); we'll take good care of it (y'all clean up after yourselves!!).

Continued best wishes, Ragmop/Sandy
