More clear scans

Written by Marion:

It has been far to long since I have sent you all a message!  So many great things to report.
First of all Tonya just got the all clear from her CT can of her brain adn Pet scan of her body showing the cancer is gone!  These are being conducted every 3 months for now.

Tonya looks and feels great!  It is amazing to think of all she has gone through both physically and mentally over the last two years.  To see her now you would never guess the challenges she has faced,  the pain endured and fear overcome.

Thanks to many of you Tonya was able to take her trip to Florida in June to take that walk to get her hard earned diploma and to have a vacation with her family.  They had a wonderful time!

Summer has been busy for her with the kids, 20 year class reunions, camping and fun.  Tonya is so excited to be heading back to work at Gardiner!  She is exicited to get back to what she loves and what she has worked so hard for.

It is hard to believe it has been almost a year since many of us walked for Tonya's Team at the Race For The Cure, but we are quickly approaching that date once again.  Shayla is heading up the team this year and has started things online.  Tonya would love to see you all out there again and new faces too!  Every walk down Survivors lane is a VICTORY.  You can register for Tonya's Team by following this link

Thanks again so much for all of your support!

While cleaning out my Miche purse (boy that little purse sure does hold a lot), I found many things.  Along with the receipts, a diaper and wipes, toys, and expired appointment cards; I found a pad of sticky notes.  Why is this significant, you ask.  Well when Tonya was going through her "episode" phase she needed to write everything down, so you'd better have a pen and paper quick.  Now this is not the first time I've cleaned out my purse since November, but I think I left it in there cuz I just wasn't sure that part of this journey was over.  Well now I am certain that it is over!  Everyday Tonya is recovering and moving forward!!!  She is in San Diego this spring break and I'm so thankful that she will be showing our family and her friends how amazing she is recovering and how strong she continues to be.
