Not to sure what to say.....

Thank you, God! Wow! Amazing.......not enough adjectives!
This has been a roller coaster week. We had not heard any results the past two days, and agreed last night that we would call today. Found out this morning that meant ME calling the oncologist. Was hesitant to do it, but wanted an answer. 

Called about 11 and left a message. We have our niece Katie, her husband Carl and their 10 month old son visiting us this weekend from Chicago. We walked the beach trail later this morning and were on the San Clemente Pier around 11:45 when my phone rang. It was a blocked number and I was a bit apprehensive to answer it in public. But did, the sun had just come out from the fog and as I looked out over the waves, Dr. Cheng's nurse said "All the lesions are GONE! The MRI was clear". I had her repeat it, just to make sure I heard it correctly. She said it again!  I just stood there and cried! Katie said when I got off the phone, "you said all clear didn't you?" We had a great group hug on the pier!

Tuesday we will see Dr. Cheng and find out what the next step is in this journey. 

Again thank you for all your prayers and support! That just seems inadequate!!!!

Big Week Coming Up!

Well, Dwayne's last round of chemo went well. Not too many side effects after the first night. Makes a difference when the anti-nausea meds are taken! We are still waiting on one more signature for the new rehab, it is not moving very quickly. Going to push again tomorrow and see if I can get things moving.

Tuesday afternoon he will have his next MRI. It has been three months since the last one was done. Our prayers are that the chemo has taken out the last three lesions.

On Thursday we are looking forward to a visit from our niece and her husband from Chicago. They will be with us for four days.

As always, we are grateful for all of you in our lives.
