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!

One day more

After discussing the possibility of coming home tonight Mom has decided to stay which is what the doctor said he preferred. She still has some temperature but it isn't over the threshold. Early tomorrow she will have bloodwork done to check her white cell count. As long as her temperature stays down and her white count up she will get to come home tomorrow morning.

Last night she watched the discovery channel but tonight it will be the home run derby. I'm not sure which will prove to be more interesting :)

Thanks for hanging in there with us. We all appreciate it.
