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!

Jingle, Jingle, Jingle

Not Jingle Bells, but jingle keys!  I finally drove myself somewhere yesterday and you won't believe where I chose to go first.  WalMart.  How sad is that??  Luckily, I took Katie with me because I was a lot perkier going in than I was coming out.  In fact, I relinquished the keys and let her drive me home.  So my return to the driving world was more a moral victory than a physical one, but it makes me feel better to know I have the option!

One week from today Katie will graduate from Texas A&M University.  What a milestone.  It's hard for us to believe it's been four years, although I'm sure it seems much longer to her.  She will begin working on a masters degree in Public Health in September.  We're so proud of both her and Kevin and the effort they're making to find their way in the world.  This time next week we'll be in College Station getting ready for the ceremony and figuring out where all their "stuff" is going to go.  Both are moving home for the summer so it will be interesting around here!  

Enjoy the fact that it's Friday and you've made it to the weekend!  

Love, Rhonda
