First , thank you all for the prayers and good vibes . I know thats why this is good news. My wifes test results show her tumor is a bit smaller and it is taking up sugar at a lesser rate. This means it is starting to respond to the latest chemo. They started her today on a much stronger chemo just in case there are some cells floating around looking to start in new places. After several weeks of this they will go back to the chemo that it is responding too. Yes its still stage 4 and she will be on one or another chemo treatments forever, but this is the first good news we have had in over a year. Now if the levees hold too . I just may make some barbeque yet . Thanks again and please dont stop...I dont think my little voice is getting up that high by itself .

Fantastic! May the tumor keep shrinking and may the levees hold. You guys deserve a big helping of good luck (and barbeque)!

Just goes to show that God does hear our prayers!!! Thank goodness!!! So glad to hear your good news about
your Mrs. Also I may be mistaken but I thought I heard in the news that they don't think the waters are going to be as bad as originally thought??? I will continue to pray that the waters stay far away, and that the Mrs. continues to improve daily. Giant hugs!

Thanks you all. I just had to share that . I was starting to feel desperate , or as they say overseas , like a dog in a canoe . She was feeling pretty bad this morning with the new chemo kicking in , but she went to work as always . She loves her job and its a relief to her to work with the kids . Its not far away if she feels really bad and I am never far away if she needs me. Hmmm , not sure thats such a comforting thought for her . Do I call old bumble butt ? Nawwww , Think I'll just drive myself home . Thanks for being there for us guys .
