good evening
pardon me for sending you this email
but we are so delighted with the news that i jus had to share it with everyone
if this is of no concern to you
please jus delete this message
today, we went in for a ct scan on dianes chest an abdomen to see how the tumor had responded to the radiation treatment an the chemo treatment thus far
even thou diane has completed the intense an aggressive radiation she hasnt completed the chemo
next monday she goes in for her next round of chemo an after that she only has one round left
her doctor called later today after we got home with some FANTASTIC news
thou i didnt listen in on the call
diane told me that her doctor said that the tumor was almost all gone
considering what it was at its peak
this is incredible news
her tumor was described as 'huge' by the radiologists giving her the treatments
i got to see all of her xrays, mri's an ct scans i saw it for myself
what size it was an how it had grown
how it was effecting her
an now
its almost gone
this is nothing short of a miracle
diane started crying
thou she is still realing from the effects of radiation an chemo treatments an she has been laid up for over three months
its gonna take a while before she is back to her old self again
i would venture to say
maybe late october
she needs to do some stretching an some light exercising
an she still has appetite issues, hydrating issues, energy issues and taste bud issues
she still needs to have a high calorie an high protein diet to beef up
but
i think she is gonna make it
so to all of you that prayed for her
sent cards n flowers
called, came by to see her in the hospital an here at our house
i thank you
and i owe you
thank you, thank you for your support
thank you for calling me an bein my friend as well
tommorrow i go to ortho an i will probably be settin up a surgery date for my shoulder
so i will be takin another vacation from the internet again sometime soon
