This is my family with our daughter-in-law’s family during a Christmas week vacation together in Santa Barbara during a prior year. We were only missing one sister, Maggie, who was at grad school at Cambridge.
I’m sharing wonderful news. My son and daughter-in-law called on their way home from the oncologist. Buff had her first scan since her six-months of chemo ended without major problems and side effects.
Buff has a clean bill of health and feels terrific!
She will receive scans every three months for the next two years, then every six months for the following three years.
It’s been a worrisome, stressful time since Buff’s initial diagnosis of Stage 3C colon cancer, surgery and chemo. I feel relief like our entire family has turned the corner — because our daughter-in-law Buff is doing so well. Hopefully, the newlyweds will have clear sailing from now on throughout their future. I wrote about the day of her surgery HERE.
I’d like to hear more good news! What good news do you have to share?
Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful news! I’ve got nothing that even begins to compare. Thanks for sharing, Elizabeth! 🥰

It is good news. Thank you for your prayers.
Wonderful news. They are so welcome.
I, in turn, share our good news.
My sister in law walked, yesterday, for the first time since being run over by a car three months ago. She suffered severe leg injuries.
Oh my goodness. Congratulations to your sister in law. I was hit by a pick up truck in college. I can relate.
Wonderful indeed! It doesn’t get much better than a clean bill of health after an experience such as hers. Here’s to a happy, healthy future! 🙏🌹
Thank you! It’s so nice to have her get through this with an excellent outcome.
So very happy to read the good news EA!

Thank you! It’s a relief…until the next scan. Hopefully, they’ll go well for five years 🙏. There’s a gorgeous snippet of Allie, one of the sisters playing Moon River on Instagram. I’ll send it to you.
Thank you, I would love that. xxoo

Agreed: good time to say FANTABULOUS! 🙂
Thank you!
Very happy for you! Often when cancer is caught early, you or your loved ones are fortunate but with the later stages, challenging. So glad this happened at 3C!
Yes. She went to doctors for five years complaining of symptoms. Because she was young, they didn’t order a colonoscopy or any tests. They told her to eat more fruit and drink more water. It gets me SO angry.
We are often at the mercy of healthcare, so pick wisely.
👍🏼
That’s awesome! What a Blessing.
Thank you 🙏🏼
What wonderful news! Nothing can top a clean bill of health after all that she’s been through.
Thank you! It’s a huge relief. The biggest hurdle is the next two years. That’s when it’s most likely to come back.
What fantastic news, Elizabeth! I’m so delighted you shared. Sending big wishes that everyone’s health stays great!
Thank you, Wynne 😊
How Awesome! ❤️❤️ So happy for all of you and Buff, especially! I can imagine what a huge stress relief that was to hear! Celebration time!!!
Yes. It was such a relief. 😊

What wonderful news. This may be TMI but is there any fear about having children?
UCSF gave her an experimental drug to protect her fertility. We will have to wait and see.
Great news for Buff!! 🙏 Prayers answered. 💕
Yes! We are relieved.
