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!

Day 2

Not much to report except that  I'm hanging in there.  I'm more tired than usual and my face looks sunburned from the steroids I'm taking.  The sad thing is that I feel like I'm revisiting morning sickness.  I have this constant, low-grade nausea that I recognize all too well even though it's been 19 years since I last experienced it.  Some things you just never forget! 

Thanks again for the thoughts and prayers - I hope I'm feeling a lot better by Thursday.

Love, 
Rhonda
