From Wacky To Wonderful

Hey All...

So, my last entry was letting you all know how wacky our weekend was... and boy oh boy, was it wacky! But this weekend, was wonderful (even though Billy & Amy could not make it because of the snow).

On Friday, we had a doctor's appointment before Chemo and it went great! Dr. Abou-Alfa informed us that the Chemo is WORKING!! He is calling our last CT scan (from Feb. 15th) a mixed scan because, despite the appearance of new small lesions in mom's liver, older ones have disappeared completely and the cancer has not spread anywhere else or gotten any larger!! so we are beyond thrilled!!

I hope this brightens your Monday as it did our weekend!!

So keep on praying!!

And we are looking forward to seeing you all in less than 3 weeks for St. Patty's Day!!

Much love,
The General
