Rachel Up Dates..Prayers Answered!!!

Just received this from Rachel, she was at work and could not call so.................

HI ALL!!

Wanted to pass on the latest update from the doctor…are you ready?? First, I have to say that I’ve been waiting a long time to write this (over a year in fact!!) but as of Wednesday, January 21, 2009, I am officially in REMISSION!!
I’ve been dying all day waiting to hear from them-and they finally called to give me the news just after 3! They said that the biopsy they took on Wednesday looks great and while the cells aren’t the healthiest, there are NO MALIGNANT CELLS! As of right now, we are going to start tapering off the radiation treatments w/them ending in March; I will still have to 2 chemo pills for at least 3 more months. (The doctors think that I’ll have to be on them for 6 months, but we’ll revisit it each month and decide). I will also keep going every month for checkups for at least 6mo, just to make sure that everything is still all clear and then will hopefully drop to every 2-3 months after that.

*I want to thank everyone for all your prayers and support- they’ve meant so much to both Adam and I.
Rachel

Feel Free to join me in the HAPPY DANCE!!

GOOD NEWS!!

A lot of you know that my middle daughter Rachel (23yrs old) has been fighting a battle with Uterine Cancer. Today she received the results of her last appointment. I’m so excited I have to share her news with everyone! She was at work when they called from the Dr’s office so, here is the e-mail we all received

Wanted to let everyone know that I just heard back from the docs and ALL good news!! She said that there is NO new growth!! That’s awesome, but even better is that she said it has gone down in size again! She doesn’t want to change any of my treatments as they are obviously working at this point. So 6 more months to go and then I’ll be done!

On another note, I’m very excited to say that after talking w/my doc, I am going to start training to run the Mini Marathon here in Indy next year! I knew I wouldn’t be able to follow a normal training schedule, but we were able to modify it to what would work for me, w/o overexerting myself. I’m looking at it as a great way to close this chapter of my life; one that although is challenging is something that I’m able to push through knowing that once finished, it will be something I can look back on and really be proud of.

Proof of the POWER OF PRAYER

THANK YOU! For all your prayers, please keep them going
