It is hard to believe I have not updated you since November, but I haven't.  That is actually good news because if I had updated you it probably would be because things were not going according to plan.  But now I can give you an update that is very positive.

Marianne had her last chemo infusion on New Years' Eve.  Her reaction was the mildest she has had so far.  Then we just had to wait a month for a scan and another week to hear the results.

The results were good!  The doctor was very happy with the results of chemo, as were we.   Dr. Shah, said, although there was one small lesion still on the liver he didn't think any further treatments were necessary at this time.  There are some drugs available that might help, but then again they might not. The testing of these drugs is ongoing and no clear benefits have been found.  So for now Marianne will just go in for an exam every three months.  If the cancer becomes active again we can treat it with drugs at that time.  

Thanks so much for your prayers but also for your care and concern.   Just before Marianne went in for her scan results she reread every single card (and there were many) that she had received.  Those cards meant a great deal to both of us.  

God is good, Dick
