Good News

Jay and I just returned from the surgeon's office where we found out that there were no more lymph nodes involved! Great! The tumor was a little larger than we had first suspected, 1.4 centimeters, but it is gone and I'm just barely a Stage 2(a) with a Grade 1, which means yes, I'll have chemo and radiation, but the cancer was slow growing and this isn't going to kill me!

Jay and I are thrilled with this news and thoroughly relieved that no more surgeries are required. Healing and getting rid of anymore likely suspects lurking about in my system is our next step.

Prayers and good thoughts do work, we are very grateful to all of you who have been with us in this journey. More later.

Yahoo!!!! Mom, we are so happy!! I called John to let him know as early as I could. He sends his love too. David is happy for you, but overwhelmed with those new teeth which are causing the drool and snot faucets to run uncontrollably. Today is a great day - and one we'll never forget. Love, yuppie and david and john and radja

Here I sit, blubbering all over my keyboard, mascara running down my cheeks, snot pooling at the end of my nose. Sounds like I should be with little David. I am so happy for you and your family, Dee, and praise God for the power of faith and prayer.

You will constantly be in my prayers as you go through treatment, and I thank you for letting me follow along with you through this blog.

Love you lots
