HALLELUJAH!!!!

Dear family and friends,

Well, ring out the Handel!! We just got back from HUP and received the best New Years' gift. Bob is cancer-free and considered a cure! We knew the tumor was small(1.2 cm), but all the lymph nodes were negative too. So Bob won't need any further treatment, i.e. radiation or chemo. He will need to see our local oncologist and have Ct scans 2x/year, which we expected anyway. So, my heart is so light right now. We thank you all again for bearing with us, as well as shoring us up with your prayers and good wishes. I have to thank especially, our very good friends, the Aranos and Macys, for the meals and countless rides to HUP and other appts. Driving to Philly and Limerick is above and beyond the call of friendship!

 I'm off to the store to buy some nutritious, fattening food for Bob. He lost 10 pounds since his surgery, weighing in at his high school weight of 147 lbs today. Geez! Why is it that the people who need to gain, have no desire to eat?? The surgeon says that will come back eventually though. If only I could give him some of mine....but that's a whole other blog!

So, Bob and I wish you and yours a safe and happy holiday, and a very Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year!!

With love and thanks,
Bob and Mo
