Welcome to my sophomore blogging effort! If you have read my family's journey (which can still be accessed at daniellechase.blogspot.com) through cancer, then I hope you enjoy this blog which is about life after my mother's remission.

Misc.

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! We certainly did.

On Monday mom went down to Magees Women's Hospital for her 3 month check up, which was a success. All of her blood work along with her internal organs are squeeky clean and cancer free! Mom's only complaint was that she was required to be weighed in just two days after Christmas- which is certainly an unfair requirement considering all of the delightful food we induldged in this holiday. Oh, and she did seem slightly irritated that dad drove mach 90 the whole way to Pittsburgh.

Currently mom is taking a new post-chemo drug called Avastin via the Erie Cancer Center twice every month until September 2011. The only pit fall to this medicine is that it is causing mom to be extremely sore and achy. But according to her, she'd rather be achy, creaky and alive than six-feet-under. Touche.

Obviously we are elated with the news we've received about her health status and we are looking very forward to 2011!
