I just heard from Donna last night that her latest CT scan showed no cancer at all... Nothing in her liver. Nothing in her lungs. It showed a bit of scar tissue, but no visible cancer. So that is VERY GOOD NEWS!
If things stay like this for a few months, they can officially say that the cancer is in remission.
Also... Donna's voice is about 95% back now... and could actually continue to improve.
So even more very good news.
But please don't everone relax and enjoy their favorite drink as they toast to defeating the evil cancer monster. The kind of cancer Donna has is known for mutating and coming back. If that happens, then the chemo treatments that were used this time around would be much less effective, or perhaps useless.
So... what am I saying? Well, that Donna is doing very well... and that things look very good. But continue to pray... Perhaps she has been healed for good of this thing and will go on and live another 30 carefree years. But its not guaranteed...
Tomorrow, Donna and Mitch leave for Florida. They will be there for a month or two. We will know in about a week which program she will become a part of, but the hope is that she will be part of a group that gets the stuff that will make her own body much more resistant to any recurrance of cancer...
I hope to get regular updates from them and keep this blog up to date. Leave a comment if you have any questions...
