Best possible news

Ron met with his surgeon today. The pathology report came back with no signs that the cancer had spread into the lymph nodes. This confirms the diagnosis as a type 1a cancer. Beyond regular scans, he will need no further treatment.

Physically, he is doing really well. I went for a walk around the block with him the other day, and its amazing how seeing him in normal clothes makes him look like a person, not a patient. He is off all pain medication and slowly recuperating from the after effects of major surgery.

Emotionally, we have all had a terribly tough week. We lost a dear friend suddenly and are doing our best to cope.

It only makes me more grateful to have the love and support of all of you -my extended friends and family.

Love, Tara
