Good news ... at last!


It would be premature to say "cure" or "cancer free", but this news is almost as good.

Today Viva and I went again to see Dr. Graves, my local oncologist.  My  blood work is as normal as one could ask, and all of my current   symptoms appear to be related to my treatment and not the disease.  As   a result, she said she has a very hard time believing that the tumor  is still active.  It was good to see her noticeably more relaxed than in the past.  She's been a great source of strength for us.

We won't know for sure until I get the CT/PET scans in January, but  for now it appears that I can look forward to a normal life again. :-)

There are many hundreds of people out there praying for us - some we've never met. Thank you! I know there are hundreds because there are 329 on the Facebook group "Pray for Mr. Hodel" alone!
