Remission
What a beautiful, breathtaking word! It's going through my head like a song on replay. Remission, remission, remission! It's a word I've dreamed about and hoped for since Dr. Olson first spoke with me about having Churg Strauss. I always believed it could happen, but it seemed like such a distant dream.
Today, Dr. Olson discussed MY remission! MY remission... I think I will forever remember how she uttered the word with sincere eyes and a hopeful smile. It meant as much to her as it did to me. I'm not there yet, but it's in the picture now. It's truly possible that remission will be mine soon!
Even though it's been a while since I've had an appointment, she's still been devoted to my case. She, Dr. Katial, Dr. Round, & Dr. Maleki have all been discussing my tests and progress. It took eight months for the treatment to begin showing positive effects and now, after one year of treatment, they see feasible hope for remission in my future. She said they believe that with one more year of treatment (assuming I continue to respond) my Churg Strauss will be in remission.
Remission will be mine...........
