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!

Rhonda, Monday Night

Thanks to the person who put roast and cake in my freezer. YUM!!!!!!!

I really appreciate all the prayers. I've switched to oral pain medicine and for a few hours I wasn't certain it was a wise decision. I've had enough doses, now, that I think the pain will be tolerable until we can get rid of the chest tubes. Have I mentioned how much I hate them??

Here's my Observation #8 (I'm going to post it while David is out of the room so he won't edit me) Too late, he came back. I'll have to think of another one.

Later! Rhonda

  4. Be careful about posting things without your editor present while you're on pain meds. You might live to regret it!

  7. Hello, this is your sister (remember me?) it is so strange not to be able to talked to you when ever I want to. I now know why your operation was planned last week instead of this week--you just wanted me to have to jump out of the back of a School Bus. Gee Thanks. Your 4th period class says HELLO!!! Don't let them be too mean to you today. Love you. Lesia

  8. Ha ha!! I didn't know about the school bus, but I'm glad you got to experience it. I did it last year - so much fun and so graceful.
