Oh what a beautiful morning, Oh what a beautiful day!!

YEAH! We heard from the Dr. today that the CAT scan showed no suspicious findings and as he said "things look very very good!" So, it looks like it has not spread!!! It's amazing how your perspective changes in the course of two weeks. We are SO thankful to be at "only"a 3b cancer stage! Praise the Lord! I feel a little bit like it's a pregnancy....we got good news (relatively speaking!) and we know we have a tough road ahead......nausea, headaches, tiredness, hair loss, surgery (hopefully no swelling ankles!) but at the end, we have a beautiful NEW life and things will never be the same!!

Things are falling into place with Dr.'s as well. We've had so many "God-sightings" through this and is has been amazing to watch as everything has pointed to one Dr. at Rush. We'll be seeing her next Wednesday. We are still waiting to hear about one more test that will determine what kind of chemo I'll be needing. We were told it could start as early as next week. We are waiting to talk to the Dr. today. Again, more waiting!! :-)

My Public Service Announcement of the day......Ladies, GET YOUR MAMMOGRAMS! (Yes, I'm "shouting!") Know the symptoms....they aren't all the same. Early detection is key!!

We are definitely feeling the prayers! We have a "peace that passes understanding" and we are grateful to you for lifting up our family! Thanks for the comments....we've loved reading them!! Have a great weekend, everybody!

In His Strength,

Cindy and the VK's

Cindy:

I finally had time to find your blog - what an awesome way to keep everyone up to date!! We'll be praying "ceaselessly", and make sure you let us know if you need anything!!!

PS: If we dye Dave's hair blonde will he become "dumber??" - I think we have to get him back somehow for this :-)

Praise the Lord! We'll continue lifting you up as you now move on to treatment. We're here with whatever you need! Keep your appetite! I'm feeling pie in our future! A whole one! Not just a piece! Kath
