Another Month of Good Tumor Markers and Being that 1%

I'm coming up on the two year mark of my recurrence, September 15. The doctors said statistically I had a 1% chance of surpassing this two year mark. Tony was in the room when we heard this and we agreed someone had to be the 1%, why not us? So now as we approach this date I can't help but be afraid that something will pop up and take over my currently able body quickly, robbing me of becoming that 1%. I try to stay focused and positive, but I still get scared. I just want to live. And it's look like this month, I will! My blood work came back and my markers are still where we want them, nice and low. While I was waiting for the news I shared my worries with Megan and she sent me the best text. So many people ask me what they should say to someone in my situation, well I think Megan nailed it so I will share her text. I had text her I was scared and I was sorry for making her worry, she replied.... Don't ever apologize... I am and will always be here to listen to you about anything... You don't have to be brave or try to protect me ever!! It just means I love you forever... As soon as I read it, I relaxed, it was exactly what I needed to hear and when I needed to hear it! It made my day! I hope all of my friends and family are happy and healthy! I am!
