Yesterday was the big day of my PET scan that would determine whether or not my cancer was still present. After a sleepless night and a day of jitters waiting for the results, I finally heard from Dr. Reeder at about 2:30 pm this afternoon. And it was great news, the cancer is no longer present! After nearly a year, three different chemotherapy treatments and a bone marrow transplant this thing is finally out of my system!!! I still have a few years before they consider me completely in remission and I will now have to undergo about two weeks of low dose radiation but this was the first big step! Thank you very much again to everyone that has been supportive throughout my entire journey, I couldn't have done it without you guys!

We are so proud of you and so thankful. How does it feel? I bet your body is tired but we know your spirit is probably on fire!
I literally fell out of bed this morning when I got the call, I was just that excited!! Alika, to say that we are grateful would be an understatement. Your journey has meant so much to so many people, and you deserve a big THANK YOU for allowing each and every one of us to be a part of it. I feel so fortunate. Watching you overcome this battle victoriously has been the highlight of my year. It's time to celebrate!!
