Update on Debbie

Of all the miracles, great and great (there are no small miracles), I want to give an update on Debbie. While Debbie remains with a slew of physical issues that were caused by the cancer and its treatment, she has been pronounced clean of cancer (asides from the microscopic cancer cells which will always float around her body).

The fact that I still have my Debbie and our girls still have their Mommy is a miracle. At this point, we are dealing with the serious aftermath which includes osteoporosis, a frozen shoulder (very painful which can keep her awake at night), mystery pains in various and sundry places...and many more symptoms which shall remain nameless at this point.

She will remain on the current medication (which caused the osteoporosis) for another 4 1/2 years and continue to get various CT scans, mammograms, poking and prodding many times a year for the rest of her life. She will also get additional treatments and meds occasionally.

But as far as cancer goes...it went!

Be strong and of good courage,

Jack
