Ringing the Bell

At the office where Mike had his chemo treatments, everyone gets to ring the bell once they are done with the treatments.

And the survey says...

Mike went to the doctor to get his test results today. The doctor ordered a PET scan to be done before he went in for the regularly scheduled appointment. While that was originally concerning, it ended up being a good thing. The doctor was able to confirm that THE CANCER WAS GONE! It was a very challenging and hard battle, but all of the suffering has proved to be worthwhile.



While we were all optimistic and hopeful, it is just so relieving and exciting to know that he has been able to overcome this terrible disease. He is still out of shape and battered from all of the treatments, but knowing him he will be working out and being active sooner than he should be. Now we will have to see if his hair comes back.



We are so grateful for all of the support and help that so many people have provided. It was truly great to see the love of those around him. Family, friends and neighbors all pulled together and it was truly appreciated. Thanks.



Mike will still need to go back for check ups every three months to make sure there is no relapse, so continue to pray for him. We will post some pictures and may add some updates in the future.



Thanks again for everyone's love!

MRI

Mike had an MRI done on Friday. He will not get the results back until later this week. We hope that the results are good and the treatments have been working.

He has enjoyed the time off from all of the medicine and has been trying to get around. On Saturday he went to Carter's (his grandson) tee ball game. He is definitely not at full strength, but he has been feeling much better and has not been sick. Sometimes he probably does more than he should, but I guess that's his personality. Hopefully he will continue to get stronger and put some weight back on.

We should know the results from the MRI on Friday, and will post a message once we find out.
