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!

Hair Day

It's Saturday and I'm going to Houston to pick up my wig and supplies.  I don't think we're going to cut my hair short today because it's not "releasing", as the stylist said.  I think that's politically correct speak for "falling out in hunks"!  My scalp has started to itch and tingle like they told me it would and the texture of my hair is already changing.  It's just a matter of time, but I think I'll hold onto it for as long as I can.  I'll let you know how it went.
