Tuesday happenings

We got up early today for an appointment with the medical oncologist, D. Spahr. Nancy & I have also talked with a therapist today. I havebeen resting since lunch so I can attend a LifeStream board meeting this evening. It will make for a full day, but I will feel ike I have contributed in some positive way.

The doctor confirmed in a very straight forward way that the tests show that I have no active cancer! The4th round of chemo (starting Monday) is purely to prevent new growth. That is great news! Thanks for faith &prayers - it is making a difference.

  17. Mike & Nancy & Kids,
    During this holiday season, people may spend big bucks shopping for the "perfect" gifts...but there isn't a soul out there that could possibly equal the gift of news from the DR. given to the Ellis Family! Christmas will truly be extra special this year!
    As always, we are with you. SusanT.
    PS: Love the new package artwork:)
