My son Lee sent out this email to his siblings while I was having a blood test...
<Her scan was good -- her neck was a bit "hot" but they think that's a byproduct of the radiation. Everything else appears clean. Mom still needs to rest and recuperate from her treatments (the trip to seattle was ill-timed for that) and they will check on her again near the holidays. So... Good news!>>
I sat there pretty much like an idiot, high, or low, on an antibiotic and strong decongestant.... but I know good news when I hear it. Do you realize this will be the longest stretch I have gone with a good result?
When I got my wits about me ,I did ask about my lack of a voice, not being able to raise it to yell at someone, the constantly getting hoarse. It's going to stay that way. Scar tissue from radiation. Okay, so I can live with a husky sexy voice.
Dr. was pretty strong about me having a vacation, just rest and rest and rest -- something I didn't do in Seattle. So will follow her orders and my son Lee, too, who said for me just to be lazy, read books, write on one, but no stress stuff. When I learn how to avoid stress ,I'll get the Nobel prize.
It's the Jewish New Year. I have to say this is a great new beginning for me.
Shalom.
Jan
My dearest Jan,
How happy we are to hear this piece of good news. Were we near to you, it would b a huge hug for you from us all. :)

You do as the Doc and Lee tells you-rest, rest, rest, read etc.
Shalom
