Why the title for this blog?

I struggle with staying positive in the sight of adversity. It is very easy for me to dwell on the negative aspects of my situation and miss the blessings that come from the trial and so I will use this blog to help me stay focused on the rainbows of my life.

Mixed Bag of News

The good news is that the lymphoma and bone marrow cancer are in REMISSION! The bad news is that there is a possibility of colon and ovarian cancer. I go in for more blood work today to find out if either of those two conditions are showing up in the blood. On Thursday I will talk to the oncologist and he will determine where and what we do from that point. Keep me in your prayers.
Love,
Colletta
