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!

Chemo One Is Over

Mom spent 9 am to 5:30 pm at the clinic today getting her first chemotherapy treatment. She said she spent the day reading, sleeping, and doing crosswords. She's back in town and eating dinner right now. She says she's feeling good except for a headache which was a possible side effect of all the meds she got today. 

Thanks for your prayers!
