The Facts - Cancer Free!

Diagnosis: One quarter-size malignant tumor
Location: Lower lobe of left lung
Treatment: Surgery & Chemotherapy - Successful!
Prognosis: Excellent
Chance of Recurrence: Small
In case you haven't heard, Rhonda has been declared cancer free by her oncologist!!!

Thank you to all the friends and family who have expressed their concern, support, and encouragement. Praise the Lord that Rhonda's tumor was found early. The process of diagnosis and planning treatment went quickly in March, and recovery from surgery progressed smoothly across April. The four months of chemotherapy ended in mid-September. Now, on to recovery from the chemo. The doctor says it may take up to six months for Rhonda to regain her physical strength, so please keep praying!

Prayer Request

Rhonda's doing well but is experiencing quite a bit of pain. Please pray that the doctors will find the right dosage of pain medication to keep her comfortable. She's still in ICU but we're hoping they will move her to a private room tomorrow afternoon. David saw her at 8:15 pm and she was more awake but still groggy and her color was good. He'll be able to go in again at 5:30 tomorrow morning. 

Thank you for all your prayers today and encouragement. No more updates tonight :)

    Glad to hear everything went well with the surgery. I'm sure things will continue to improve with each passing hour.

    Hi, I want you to know I worked out this afternoon and when I started to complain about the pain, I thought of how much pain you are having(when not on heavy duty drugs)and I toughed up. Your loving sister. Lesia

    P.S. I didn't kill any students again today.
