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!

Great news!

Mom saw the oncologist today. Her PET scan was clear and she has been declared cancer free!! Mom will make an appointment to have her port catheter removed hopefully before the end of the year.

We were all relieved to hear good news today. Thank you again for all of your prayers, kindnesses, and support. Please continue to pray for Mom as she goes to physical therapy and works on building up her strength and stamina.

    Happy Birthday and what great news for your birthday. I am sorry I didn't call I traveled with the Quiz Bowl team and didn't get home until later. The Aggie loss was tough, hope that didn't spoil your day. I will call you soon for a belated wish. Again prayers have been answered and I am so happy for you. Hope your birthday was marvelous.
    Love,
    Melissa
