Well, it’s been 179 days since that first phone call from my doctor <\/a>with the news about the cancer diagnosis. A lot has happened in those 179 days, but today was the best day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m
cancer
free!<\/p><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Today, Shirley and I met with the oncologists to review the results of last Thursday’s PET scan <\/a>and the results could not have been better. The Dr. said that there are “no<\/strong> signs of any active disease in you body.”. From the PET scan report\u2026\u201dThere has been a complete metabolic resolution of the patients lymphoma.\u201d, translation –  no cancer!<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what’s next? Well, there are a few follow-up activities. On December 19th I’ll have the port<\/a> removed from my chest. It was great to have, but I won’t be sorry to see it go. There will be two years of follow-up appointments with the oncologist, every 3 months for a year and then every 6 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To all our family, friends and church<\/a>, thank you all for your love, prayers, support, concern, encouragement, food, and help that you\u2019ve given Shirley and I on our journey through this process. It has all been very much appreciated!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today and every day we’re celebrating God’s goodness and faithfulness to us. So thankful for all He has seen us through past, present & future. God is good.
