Shrinking Cancer!!

May brooks and trees and singing hills
Join in the chorus too
And every gentle wind that blows
Send happiness to you.

Good news, friends! Jane's cancer is shrinking!! Apologies for the delay after Jane got her results early this week, but it's all good news. The cancer masses that Dr. Bender left after surgery have shrunk by over half of their original size. I'm getting goosebumps just typing this. What marvelous news, eh?

Jane had her fourth chemo treatment on Monday and is doing pretty well. She worked the rest of the week for four or five hours a day. She's pretty pooped and has some tingling in her limbs, but is otherwise in good spirits and feeling okay.

Thank you all for your prayers and positive thoughts! Look how far we've come in the last few months. We'll continue to pray that the chemo keeps kicking that cancer's butt for these last three rounds. Again, thank you all!

Back to Work

May the luck of the Irish be always at hand.
And good friends always near you--
May each and every coming day
Bring some special joy to cheer you.

Hello friends! Guess who's back at work?! Jane's working about five or six hours a day, which is enough to make her just the right amount of tired without wearing her out too much. It's taken some getting used to, but it's been nice to have a bit of a routine again, especially compared to how she felt just a month ago. Jane's labs last week and today show that the chemo is doing its job. Her blood counts are low, which is to be expected. As long as her counts come back up by this time next week, she should get her fourth round of chemo next week. Jane has a CT scan this Friday, and that'll let us see what the remaining tumors look like. Thank you to all for the prayers and well wishes!! She would not be where she is today without all of those prayers and the love you've sent. Thank you! Please continue to keep her in your prayers for some good news this Good Friday.
