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!

Last Long Treatment Today!

Rhonda had her last long treatment, today, while Katie and Kevin had their first classes of the fall semester. After lunch, Katie and I hung her curtains in the front room of her new apartment in the Medical Center area. "My" cat, April, seems to be settling in nicely in the new surrounding as she takes up with Katie and Angela.

So, we are into the second week of the last cycle. There are some food restrictions on salads and fruits (anything that has touched dirt). We are both relishing the thought of having this behind us. The next treatment should be the day after Labor Day since the office is closed that Monday holiday.

Thanks for all the prayers and notes and encouragement,

David
