Are finally completed. She finished radiation on Tuesday, and my son was with her when she rang the bell! The week before, she completed her chemotherapy treatments! She has a few rough weeks left, before swelling and sores recede, but otherwise is doing quite well. We are hoping that she starts to get her sense of taste back so the feeding tube can be removed. She had the G-Tube installed 5 or so weeks ago. She could not eat anymore by mouth, and was loosing too much weight. For us, the feeding tube was a blessing in disguise, and since, she has maintained a healthy weight! Cindi’s surgery was on February 27, and since that day, most things that could go wrong, have gone wrong! Everything from skin grafts not surviving, infections, blood clots, and a list of others, have tested her will, but each new problem only gave her more strength. Cindi is kicking this cancer to the curb, and stomping it into a mudhole!!!! She is my hero! (UPDATE) Cindi had her first post surgery PET scan, Tuesday morning. The Oncologist’s nurse just sent a message, stating that they cannot see any cancer cells. So, today we celebrate, and look forward to many more years. I want to thank everyone for the prayers, and thoughts, and kindness during this time. We feel so blessed by the lifting of the burden, in which we have endured. Saturday, we host our family reunion at our home, and we get to spread the good news.

Prayers and good thoughts for you and yours.

Glad to hear it. They're getting better and better at licking the big C.
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

Definitely positive news! Prayers of thanksgiving sent.
One day you'll find someone who is obsessed with you. It's probably going to be a dog. But, it is what it is.
