Ha!!! Rejoice!! Rejoice!! We have good news!!! Today was "graduation day" from radiation...complete with balloon, certificate, and pin...great day! Part of the "graduation ceremony" was a final visit with the radiation doctor. He had marvelous news!! He said that it appears the radiation has had minimal side effects while doing its work - and the best part - he said that since my body has responded so well to radiation, their experience is that I will respond well to chemotherapy, too. He said that if the strain of cancer is resistant to radiation, it can also be resistant to chemo...but this has not been the case here. Thank you, dear Lord!! Thank you!! It is just the best good great news, isn't it? You all have been with us through all the bad & difficult news - and we are so glad you are here with us to celebrate this great & wonderful good news. Again, we just say thank you so very much, dear God, for Your kindness!!

God's mercies to each & every one...
Love,
Don & Deb
