things are looking up

i got my PET scan results and the votes are in. the cancer that was on my bones are no longer there. I'm all clear on my bones!!!!! we are heading in the right direction! chemo is working! my main tumor is there but Dr. Chen said there is no activity going on. it may just be dead cells that are there. But even with all this good news there is a little bit of bad. On the scan there was a little spot that showed up near my esophagus. its about 1 centimeter. they aren't totally sure as to what it is so this Monday I'll be seeing the stomach doctor again and they will be putting a camera down my throat to check it out. i'll keep you all posted.

but over all things are looking up. my war against cancer is still on its way and it looks like i'm winning! Juanita: 1 Cancer: 0

A Wicked Weekend!

This past weekend Robert and i went on a little getaway to San Francisco. it was absolutely awesome! Thanks to one of my very best friends, Adrian, we were able to stay at the JW Marriott off of Post street. This hotel was amazing! i totally recommend staying here! Beautiful!after we checked in our SWEET digs, we headed out to the movies to watch the new Disney-Pixar movie Up. Two thumbs up WAY UP! This movie hit me on an emotional level. i think i cried so much cause of whats been going on in my life. i know the characters aren't going through cancer or something crazy but mainly because i want that kind of life with Robert. hopefully I'll get better and i will live a full life with Robert. that's the plan anyway. i related a lot to earl and Ellie with not being able to have children just because that might be something i will be going through as well. so yeah this movie hit me like a ton of bricks and i loved it!

the next day, Robert and i got up and head out to where all the hippies hang out in San Francisco! haight and ashbury! this place reeks of weed!!!! LOL! they had awesome art work all over the place. the environment was so chill and cool. they had really cool shops and names for restaurants. very original! i loved it! OH and also in the area is the house in the Disney TV show That's so Raven! cool stuff!

After hanging out with all the hippiest people in San Francisco we headed out to the Hippiest and FABULOUS area in San Francisco....THE CASTRO!!!! i loved it here! we saw how everyone here could just BE there self! nobody was judging them. nobody cared who you were kissing or holding hands with. it was so awesome! you were really able to just relax and be who you were. Robert and i were saying too bad the rest of the world couldn't be the same way. its kinda sad actually.

after all the excitement we went back to the room to rest before dinner. Dinner was at kuleto's in union square. it was pretty yummy! stuff mushrooms and chicken with marinara sauce is the bomb! we felt very fancy and rich! hahaha lame i know but still its fun to pretend! after dinner it was Wicked time! that Broadway show was AMAZING! i was totally blown away with such a great performance. i can see what all the fuss was all about.
