Today was the follow up appointment with the cancer doctor.  Yesterday with the surgeon.  Both reported that there was no evidence of cancer.  All 26 lymph nodes from the lung were tested and every one was found clear.  The cancer seems to have been contained in the tumor that was removed.  Mom will have a scan every 6 months to be sure nothing is lingering in that area but we are so thankful for today's prognosis.  Both mom and dad will be in Florida by this time next week!  God has blessed us through this process in so many ways.  Thank you all for your never ending prayers and support. 

I will close this journal with this:  

II Corinthians 4:16-18

¹⁶ Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. ¹⁷ For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. ¹⁸ So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
