Things are MUCH better now.

Today the doctor came in and gave us some good news!! Don's P.E.T. scan results...all his cancer is GONE!! Chemo works very well on Don. PRAISE GOD!! To HIM be the glory. This does not mean Don will not have to finish his fourth chemo. This also does not mean he will not have to have the stem cell transplant. The doctor explained to us that without the stem cell transplant Don's cancer will almost positivly return. Our doctor is such a sweet compassionate man. He could tell that I was very worried about the transplant. Having just lost a freind who had a stem cell transplant, it is hard to not be afraid. She also was a patient of his so he is very aware of her case and what happened. He assured us that it was like comparing apples and oranges, and that Don's procedure would NOT be the same. He made us all feel much better and not so worried. Since Don did well with his chemo there is no delays in our scheduling our trip to MDA and soon they will be contacting us about when this will be done. Tomorrow he will be finishing up chemo number three, and we get a three week break before returning. We walked several laps around the floor today, and the blood transfusions have helped him feel alot better. He is looking forward to coming home and fishing in his boat again as soon as possible. So good seeing him feel better. Thanks friends for your visits.
We love ya'll
Don and Kathi
