The Big Fucking Sigh Of Relief
April 13, 2006
The breast lump is NOT CANCER.
I REPEAT: NOT. CANCER.
Still waiting on results from the uterine thing, but on the day of the surgery my mom's doctor was all, "Pfft. Is nothing. Is FINE." So I'm thinking we're okay there too.
There is still entirely Too Much Fucking Cancer out there, but for now, it's gotten the hell off my lawn. And for that, I am extremely happy.
Thank you so much, sweet Internet people, for your thoughts and prayers and crossed appendages during this scary time for us. I believe with all my heart that it made all the difference in the world.


Hooray! So happy for you and your mom! :)
OK Good Deal. Now I can quit sitting here refreshing.
Get Off My Lawn. HA! You really are very funny.
Oh, thank GOODNESS!!! I am so happy to hear that! What wonderful news.
Yahoo!
YAY! I've been REFRESH REFRESH REFRESHING since yesterday waiting for the good news.

Hooray! We have been waiting for results. NO more refreshing. Yeah for your mom and your whole family!
I have to say, I think "DEAR CANCER: GET THE HELL OFF MY LAWN" would make a great t-shirt.
Noah's all, "Hey Cancer, get the hell away from my grandmamalah!" and then he drooled all over Cancer and Cancer was defeated.
Amy, I think you have a future in the subversive cross-stitch industry.
So glad to hear that Nanalah is okay!
Praise the Lord! I've been checking this thing for 24 hrs straight to see if its cancer! And YYYYEEEAAAAHHHHH! Its NOT!
Wonderful pic of Noah. He looks almost as happy as I feel. What's so weird is that I guess I've been living vicariously through your mom's test results, since I lost my own mom. So this is awesome, I think I'll have a chocolate sundae to celebrate. Then I'll get counseling because how in the world am I this caught up in the private life of a woman I wouldn't recognize if she bit me on the nose!
Thank heavens! I am so relieved to hear everything is okee dokee. Let the celebrating begin!
And seriously, are you doing this to me on purpose? Everytime I see a pic of Noah, my ovaries start to explode. He's so full of delicious baby goodness.
Thank goodness! God Bless you all.

So glad to hear the happy news.
I'm so happy for you and your family! What a relief.
Such wonderful news, for all of you....
YAY is exactly what I was thinking. So glad for the good news.
On another topic, in comparing how much Noah and you favor each other in the above picture, I noticed something:
DID NOAH GET A HAIRCUT?!?!?
His first?! And the internet wasn't notified?
Or maybe its just the way its combed. Either way, we need clarification on this issue asap. Thanks so much.
And have a great, cancer-free, drool-coated, day.
YAY!
YAY!
Oh that's wonderful news! I may have to have a 2 Amy's margherita pizza to celebrate!
now you can BREATHE!
;)
Yeah!! Take THAT, Cancer! Ha!
re: the Lamaze Toys vs. the Cheap toys - yes, indeed - the most expensive toys are the ones that the PARENTS are attracted to. Don't get me started on the Haba toys which I just adore. Of course, any company that sells wooden parsnips and chocolate croissants MUST be overpriced. Anyway, my kid loves his plastic keys, too.
VERY HAPPY for you and mamalah!
YAY!!!!!!!!!
*breathes sigh of relief*
Great news!
great news. great picture.
Oh, that is wonderful news!!!!
My father pssed away 11 years ago due to cancer. It.....SUCKED, so I am very glad it is the hell off your lawn!!! I agree that there is too much f'n cancer out there.
Yeah for no fucking cancer! Woo hoo! You go girl!
So relieved to hear that everything is okay!
Me: No haircut for baby. He just naturally has the world's most perfect hairline, which he most definitely DID NOT get from me.
Noah is looking like such a little man in that picture!!!!
I'm so glad you are feeling well.Cute baby and cute Blog.
That? Is fantastic news. Very happy to hear it.
HOORAY!
I think Noah single-handedly defeated cancer with his cuteness. I'm so glad your mom doesn't have cancer!
I think I might have a glass of wine to celebrate, myself.
Came here for the first time today from blackbelt mamma. My mom and I just went through the same thing.....hers was NOT. CANCER. Either. YAY! So I know the feeling of staring at the phone and now the feeling of relief YAY for both of us and our moms!
AHAHAHAHA SUCK IT, CANCER!!!! YAY FOR MAMALAH! (and not sorry for the CAPS because YYYYAAAAAYYY!!!!)
Oh what a relief for everyone.
Great news... a blessing!
YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY!!!
That's great news!
I'm also struck by the striking resemblance between the picture of you in your title banner and this picture of Noah. Uncanny!!!
Yay, Nanalah! Cancer-free!
Noah's picture just made my day!
Great news!!!! I'm so happy for all of you!
Big sigh of relief - YAY!!!!!
I am very happy for you, your mom, and your whole "lawn".
Also- that picture of Noah is adorably identical to the one of you in the side bar. I LOVE it!
That is unbelievably good news..... enjoy your Easter with a lighter heart!
Woohoo! Maybe the good news bandwagon will keep on rollin' westward and my doctor will inform me that that lumpy-looking texture gradually spreading all over my outer thighs is really just Silly Putty! No? Nothing? Sigh...
Hurrah!
Woo hoo! That's fabulous news for Momalah! And you of course. :)
WOOOOOT!
Longtime Lurker here has one thing to say:
Woooooohooooooo!
Have been stalking...thank GOODNESS for good news.
And, yay for photos of slackjawed babes, as well.
Oh, thank God. So relieved for you.
I totally want to buy that t-shirt.
That's great news. So happy for you and your family! :)
Is it weird that I just got a little teary-eyed at the end? I'm going to have to pretend that IT'S VERY DUSTY IN HERE TODAY.
That is wonderful news!
What Noah said - YAY!!!!!
I think Noah's expression says it all.
But I'll be redundant and say how glad I am for the good news.
YAY. JUST YAY!
That is the best news I have heard in a long time. I am so happy for you and your family!!!
I'm so happy and relieved for all of you. Now, enjoy the rest of your day!!
Ooooh Amalah,
I got shivers of happiness and joy down my spine reading this post.
Thank FUCK!!!!!
Wooooooooooooooot!!!
Yeah! Suck it, stupid cancer!
Woo hoo!

Your family deserves a few more years (or a hundred) without any scares...dontcha think?

Oh, I'm so happy for your family! What a relief!
That is wonderful news! I'm so relieved for you and your family!
wootie woot woot on the happy no cancer news!
the way I first heard that line was "Get the fuck off my dirt." Equally effective albeit slightly more rednecked sounding.
YAY! May you get continued negative results for Nanalah.
Huzzah! Noah's tonsils look relieved as well.
I am with Nothing But Bonfires. My god, the dust!
Woooooooooo Hoooooooooo!
Celebrating in Portland, Orygun...

Delurking to say: THANK GOD!!!!!!!!! What great news!
I'm so happy for you!
Hugs to you and your family :)
YAY!
I lost my father to cancer a few years ago, and knowing what I went through, you better believe I was praying for you. I'm so glad to hear that it wasn't cancer, and I'm so happy for you and your family.
Ok, maybe somebody else mentioned this (I didn't read through all the comments), but Oh-My-God, that picture of Noah looks EXACTLY like the picture of you on the sidebar.
Great news on your mom.
Holy crap, what a relief.
I'm joining the chorus of those that are really happy and relieved to hear the good news about your Ma-malah.
Today...is a good day.
That is wonderful news Amy. I'm so happy for your mom and all of your family.
amy! oh how wonderful!!! i am so so so so so happy to hear it! yay!!!!!!!!!!
Big sigh of relief!
A-dorable Noah, per usual.
I'll put my cancer voodoo doll away for now - and hopefully forever.
Thank Deity!
My mom's sister just had a lumpectomy yesterday and is awaiting biopsy results on the nearby lymph nodes to see if it spread. I fear, but try to believe that everything will be FINE. Share the good vibes if you have some to spare.
