Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for all your prayers.

I am back!

And I've got awesome news -- no cancer!!!

WHEW!!! To be honest, these past few weeks I've been dreading, thinking of the moment I might have to tell the kids I've got C. NOT fun.

They are sooooo happy I'm not "sick". I do have another condition, but it's something I can hopefully manage with diet.

What a relief, for me and the family.

Thank you ever so much, again, for your prayers.

Wonderful, Stef!

Not sure how I missed this thread until now, but I'm praying in hindsight.
