Brace yourselves, this will be a shock.. As of today, as of this morning, I am cancer free. Yes, you did read that right. The CT scan showed No Sign of Disease otherwise known as NED.
I am crying with relief as I write this. I do not have cancer, but I have a future with my children, I have a career, I have a life.
Back when I have calmed down!
In exultation,
Minerva

Did I miss something here? Have you been getting treatment all this time, or is this that thing that we hear about called "spontaneous remission"?
I'm just so happy for you I could scream! Good Goddess, NO ONE deserves this news more than you right now.
I'm not a religeous person, but I have to agree with poster Angie. You have God's fingerprints all over you.

Fantastic!!! I have also been praying for you. As a mother I can't imagine not having a future with my children. That must be a tremendous relief. Bravo Minerva!!
Minerva,
I am sitting here crying in joy for you. It amazes me how much we begin to care about people we never have a chance of meeting. I am very happy for you.
All the best,

I'm still holding your hand and feeling the sweet sensational excitement of awe and wonder. We reached for the stars and never let go.
Minerva, I've been reading your blog for a while and just wanted to say how very, very happy I am for you.
OMIGOD - that is fantastic!! I - I - I - have no words...
I'll be back!
[thrilled hugs]
Honey, you are an absolute star...

Excellent... EXCELLENT news.
Over here from my good friend CQ's Blog.
I am *so* pleased for you!
Next day for me after the news and I am back. Wondering what the hell this has been all about and what trauma you have been through.
I don't for one minute think you ever misheard what had been said previously saying how the cancer had come back and was more vigourous, although that is a possibility for some people I think you have a more analytical mind that listens. So it comes down to being a miracle or else you had been told wrong.
And I was thinking if this had happened to me how I would feel.
With miracles one gives thanks.
But a part of me would end up flaming furious that I had been put through this and want answers as to how this can happen. I was also thinking it would be hard to know whether to be angry or whether to just shut up and be thankful I didn't have the cancer anymore.
So goodness knows how you are feeling and what you end up thinking about the whole situation. To go from a point of feeling you will never see your children grown and having families of their own and putting your affairs into order to one of being told it's all OK now and you have a life expectancy as much as anyone else.
Sending you lots of love Minerva for this wonderful and happy and incredible time. How far your feelings can be stretched I just don't know! ((Hugs))
Simply fantastic news! Proof that good things DO happen to good people.

God bless you, my friend. And love to the loyal and dependable family and friends who were with you every step of your tortuous journey.

I hope you can hear me screaming with joy from across the pond, Minerva. Thrilled doesn't even begin to describe how I feel - and obviously everyone else who's commented, too!
Prayer works. As does inspiration. And you have always been an inspiration to us all. Thankfully, you'll continue to be one.
YAY!!!!!!!!

That's great. My dad fought off cancer 15 years ago. At one point he was so sick we were planning his memorial service. Last week he celebrated his 65th birthday.
