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!

Home at Last

Hi all,

Mom & Dad are currently taking a well-deserved and much anticipated nap in their own bed. Grandpa's cooking steak tonight in celebration of Mom's homecoming. She's looking forward to a long night's sleep without nurses, breathing treatments, heart monitors, tubes, and a PA system in the hall. 

Thanks for all your prayers, encouragement, and support through the first part of our journey. It has helped me over the past three weeks to know that so many were advocating for us before the Father and that we are far from alone in this. We'll be keeping you updated as Mom continues her road to being cancer free. 

Much love,

Katie

    Please have Rhonda let us know when she is ready for company at home. She needs a lot of rest and if we don't want to make her wish for the "quiet hospital."
