HALLELUJAH!

I finished my chemotherapy on March 1.  This week on Monday I had a PET scan, and this is no April Fool's!  The results show "no evidence of metastatic disease" anywhere in my body.  In other words, I AM CANCER FREE!  I now go back to Dr. Kushner in Madison every 3 months for lab work and an exam.

I thank God every day for giving me the strength to fight this dreaded disease.  What has helped tremendously is the army of warriors of family [especially my daughter Carrie (Rich) and son Chet (Kristi)], friends and acquaintances who have shown such kindness, generosity, thoughtfulness and caring through prayers and support these last 7 months.  Words cannot express my gratefulness and love for all of you!

I continue to pray for all who are battling this disease and hope results are as good as mine.  I am so lucky and truly blessed.  I plan on an extreme attitude of gratitude for the rest of my life.  Again, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

Love,

JoAnne
