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!

Good Friday, Great Saturday!

Both kids are home and kicking in to help with various chores that have stacked up (only short stacks).  Rhonda is percolating pretty well, today.  We finally got her some Cheerios from the store, so she is a happy camper.  She ran out on Thursday, I think.

Her progress is steady thus far, stamina is improving day by day.  Chemotherapy should start toward the end of this month of April, around the 22nd or maybe later.

All the above means, it is time for open visitation!  Morning, afternoon, or evening will be fine.  She needs the animation of good company and great humor.  Please give the house a call before dropping by.  Actually, all you daily bloggers could form a conspiratorial ring and cross check to see who's dropping by when.  Or not.   Let the floodgates be open.  Come on by, folks!



This may be the best week to visit for awhile.


Best regards to you and yours,

David

    Takes awhile for news to reach the artic circle. But the dogsleds have arrived and I now know that I need to pray for my friend! Praying that the chemo goes well, not many "after symptoms" and you make a quick recovery. Love you! Cathy

    It's good to hear from you! I've thought about you with all the snow and ice. What ever happened to the "I won't live above the Mason/Dixon line" woman I knew???
