Too Busy Celebrating!!

I was going to post this two days ago when I got the news and I didn't because I was just too busy celebrating!  I have been on Zelboraf for 3 months because of several mets on my lungs and got all the crappy side effects like it seems everyone else has suffered.  I prepared myself for the idea that my life would be forever diminished because I moved around like a 90 year old instead of the 27 I just turned.  I was frustrated for 3 months wondering if it was even worth it to go through this when I had to reduce the medication to half the dosage and I figured it wouldn&#39

I was going to post this two days ago when I got the news and I didn't because I was just too busy celebrating!  I have been on Zelboraf for 3 months because of several mets on my lungs and got all the crappy side effects like it seems everyone else has suffered.  I prepared myself for the idea that my life would be forever diminished because I moved around like a 90 year old instead of the 27 I just turned.  I was frustrated for 3 months wondering if it was even worth it to go through this when I had to reduce the medication to half the dosage and I figured it wouldn't even work.  And then came the day for my scan on Tuesday to see if there was any progress being made.  Miracle of Miracles – not ONE spot can be seen.  That's right folks, in only 3 months the Zelboraf has taken care of all visual spots!  My oncologist and I decided that I would continue taking Z for 3 more months and just try to make sure that no bad cells could remain and we even upped the dosage to see if I can handle it and really kick this thing in the butt.  I'm not gonna lie, I still am sore and moving slow today, but there is nothing hurting about this smile!  In three months I will get my scans and confirm NED and then a month later, I will marry the man of my dreams and start the beginning of a long life with him.  I never thought that I would see a "clear scan".  I was told that possibility only occurred in about 2% and I hung my heart on that number.  I have thanked God every spare minute I have had and pray that this nightmare never returns.  I pray for everyone who is going through this trial in life and I hope for positive outcomes and happy smiles.  So many people on here have influenced me with their positive attitudes and I thank you for your everlasting comfort.  Everyone on here is a hero and I wish you all the best!!!
