I can hear the bells can you?

First let me scream from mountain tops JASON IS IN REMISSION!!!! We got the news on Tuesday. His tumor markers are back to normal, there is one 6mm node in his chest, and the huge tumor that was in his pelvis is now just a thickening on the ct scan. All others are gone!!!!We go back in 6 weeks to recheck blood work and scans, but so far this means no post chemotherapy surgery! The oncologist is going to an interdisciplinary (sp) conference for difficult and challenging TC cases and will be presenting Jason's case. So he said that if anything comes up from that discussion he will get back in touch with us sooner. We got the most wonderful Christmas present that we could. It apparently has given Jason a new lease on life. On Wednesday he woke up at 8am and was going strong til about 1am the next morning. I love having my husband back. He is also super excited that he got is picc line out and can take a shower with that saran wrap on his arm. It can go back to the kitchen were it belongs.
Please pray for our friends Dave and Nena. Dave is having a rough go of his chemo treatments.

It is amazing how those simple words can remove the weight of the world from your shoulders. God is good!!
