LEAST EXPECTED

re·lief
1. The easing of a burden or distress, such as pain, anxiety, or oppression.
2. Something that alleviates pain or distress.

GOOD NEWS!!!!! Dave's PET scan showed "marked overall improvement"!! How I love the word improvement!! Also, the word "resolved" showed up more than once. He is not in complete remission, but this is the closest he has been since the diagnosis. We are both in total shock. This is the first time we have actually received good news since the journey began. He will be having blood work in 2 wks. to check the whitecount and, hopefully, a break off any chemo drugs for a short time so his body can get a rest. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU for your prayers and support. You make a difference!

  3. Congratulations on the great news. I am glad to hear that you are both doing well. If Dave is really interested in a motorcycle, my neighbor has a Harley that her husband owned less than 2 years old. She might be willing to sell it now for a good price. Let me know. jaguar52@comcast.net.
