seeing nothing

I know I've been bad about keeping up with this lately.  I'm sorry.  I'm not sure how to do better at it, but I promise I am trying to figure that out.

Tomorrow (Thursday) is my follow-up visit with my surgeon along with my first mammogram since chemo and radiation ended.  It's not technically a diagnostic one, but more just to get a new baseline.  I've known this was coming up for months.  Three different doctors have talked to me about it.  But I guess I had other things on my mind at the time.  I really hadn't thought much about it, except that I didn't want to forget the appointment (which is so unlike me but I've done it twice in the past few months at the dentist - yet they still act like they love us - yep, that's the kind of people they are there).  But in the past week or so it has hit me that this really means a lot more to me. 

It means getting to actually SEE that the tumor is gone. 
I trust my doctors 100% when they tell me that it's gone, but actually seeing it NOT THERE will just be icing on the cake for me. 

It also means getting to see NO OTHER tumors or signs of cancer. 
That's our prayer right now. 
That all of the surgeries, chemo treatments and radiation treatments have done the jobs that God designed them to do and that they've done them really well! 

So we're asking for prayers for tomorrow's mammogram to be clear of anything negative and to get a good report.
