Hello everyone,
Today was the follow-up appointment with the neurosurgeon who did the gamma knife procedure seven weeks ago. The follow-up MRI was last Wednesday and I have been anxiously awaiting the results. Dr. Taha was smiling when he came into the room and very directly said the spots on the brain were gone and there were no new ones. The largest spot still shows where it was, but he said that may never go away - didn't see it as a problem and said come back for another MRI in four months. I told him this was the first good news I had received in a long time, and his response was that he liked to be the one to deliver good news.
Thanks for all of the prayers and good wishes.
Chemo is tomorrow and then we go to Chicago to help Jim paint his new house. Even with the forecast of high heat and humidity in Chicago, the world looks a whole lot better today.

Centerville Relay For Life August 1 and 2, 2009
Relay For Life® is a fun-filled overnight event designed to bring together those who have been touched by cancer in our community. At the event, we celebrate survivorship and raise money to help the American Cancer Society in its mission to save lives, help those who have been touched by cancer, and empower individuals to fight back. During the event, teams of people gather at schools, fairgrounds, or parks and take turns walking or running laps. Each team tries to keep at least one team member on the track at all times.
But, Relay is much more than a walk around a track. It is a time to remember those lost to cancer and celebrate those who have survived. It is a night for people who have shared the same experience to comfort and console one another. During this event, we honor survivors during the Survivors Lap and we remember those we lost to cancer during the Luminaria Ceremony. We also celebrate life, friendship, and a chance to work together toward a cancer-free future.
