Hi!
This post is especially for Scarlett, cigalechanta, Marilyn Freund, Liz, MizzEve, Bob the Navigator, and all who've been following my saga for the past few months. Based on a blood draw done last Thursday, I've achieved remission from my leukemia!

The bad news is that I may need to have surgery in January or February for another issue (luckily non-life threatening!) that will prohibit me from making my annual winter trip to Europe. Oh, well, spring or summer, I'll get back there.

Thanks for all your good wishes, prayers & support!

BC

Hi BC,

Glad to hear the good news. Sorry about the bad news.

I've missed your posts.

What absolutely wonderful news! I didn't know the nature of your illness, just that you were having serious health problems on top of having to deal with deaths in the family this year.

Know that you will continue to have our prayers and best wishes.

Dear bookchick,

I've missed your presence on this board! I wish you a complete and speedy recovery.

All the best to you!

Great news BC. Good luck with your surgery. Many happy travels will be in your future.
