HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO DAD! ...............and.... FANTASTIC NEWS!

Today's Dad's birthday, (Happy Birthday Old Man!!)  and we all received a wonderful gift from his doctor! He had an appointment this morning, where they discussed the results of his last scan.

As you remember, besides several small nodules, Dad had one on each lung which were significantly larger than the rest.  What we learned today, was that the nodule on his left lung which was 3.5cm is now only 2.7cm, and the one on his right, which was 3.9cm, is now only2.7cm! The small nodules are all a bit smaller as well!!!!

Dad has just finished his 3rd round of "Glow Pills" and now gets two weeks off before beginning Round 4.

This year has been quite the roller coaster ride for all of us, in more ways than one. Thank you to everyone for keeping Dad & the rest of us in your thoughts and prayers.  It's obviously helping! 

It's because of your continued love and support, along with Dad's staunch courage and stubbornness, and Mom's continuous devotion, that this arrogant little monster we call cancer doesn't stand a chance!!!

Happy New Year!
Love you all!
Mindy

    REAL BUMMER Real short, went in on Mon. got the scan, but they screwed it up, scaned my spine not my lungs.
Although the Doc. did say she did see the bottom part of the lungs and they looked encorging.
 They gave me another batch of GLOW PILLS 
 and set me up for another scan on Fri.
 We'll let you all know when we find out.
LOVE YA ALL, CATCH YA LATTER 
 and always remember
IF YA GET NEAR I’LL PULL YER EAR,
IF YA START FEELIN SORRY FER ME,
 I’LL DUST YER BRITCHES
