Cancer Free!!!!

I feel horrible for not updating my blog for everyone especially after the news that I received last month. After 4 days of testing at the Mayo Clinic Dr. Reeder and his colleagues determined that I was 100% cancer free and being one year out from transplant this was a huge accomplishment. It meant that I could get off of the majority of the meds that I take and I could finally do some things that normal healthy people might take for granted. I have been cleared to travel outside of the US, I can help my dad work on renovating his house and I can eat raw fish again!!!
I have thanked many people in this blog but seemed to have over looked many others. I need to first and foremost thank the wonderful woman that is out there somewhere in the United States that gave me the gift of life again. I do not know you but I hope to one day meet you and thank you for saving my life! What you have done is such a selfless act and I can never, ever thank you enough for what you have done. Without your gift I would be dead and I love and commend you for that!!!
I also need to thank Dr. Liu and his staff especially his nurse Jerlyn, it's been four years and you have always made me feel comfortable and safe even during my most trying times. You are an excellent oncologist and friend, thank you! Dr. Reeder, you brought your knowledge and skills of years of cancer treatment and it is because of you and the othe doctors and Mayo that I am alive and doing so well. One day we will have to get together here in Hawaii so I can buy you some good sushi and some wine! There have been many, many other nurses and assistants that have helped me along the way but the best NP that I have met and feel honored to have met is Mary Peterson. You truly helped to inspire me to not give up when things got hard after this second transplant and honestly were such a help to both me and my mom. Your support made this recent ordeal so much easier, I hope to see you in a few weeks and be able to enjoy a dinner at Alessias and some wine and finally meet your husband. Thank you again for everything that you have ever done!
I am doing great now, work is getting busier and I am hoping to work my way up the ladder at MD and prove to them that now that I am healthy I can do the work to become a solid asset to the Company for many years to come... I also want to thank Dr. Lani Leary my phsychologist for helping me work through the tough transition that I went through after this past transplant. Our talks have really enlightened me and helped me to view life in a much more positive and precious way.
