Great News!!

We met with Rachel's Oncologist on Wednesday.... to receive the results from her PETScan. That test looks for cancer anywhere in the body.... the results were great!  No Cancer anywhere!!

What this does tell us though it Rach had Stage 2 Cancer.... we were unsure about the chest area... if it was a second cancerous node or her thymus gland glowing on the tests. With no glow now... it was a cancerous node and made her a Stage 2 Hodgkins patient.... but that being said... it's gone now!

She meets with a radiologist on Monday to discuss her radiation treatments. We'll do those in Joplin, Missouri at Freeman Cancer Center. Rachel will have two areas.... neck and chest radiated.... 15 days, Mon-Fri in a row. Those will start in early January. She'll have her consultation with the doctors and have the areas tattooed (marked) before the end of the year.  

She's almost done.... and we couldn't have received any better news than we did this week!

Thanks to all for your continued prayers and thoughts....
