The Struggle Has Ended

No more treatment planned
A quick uneventful trip to Houston resulted in some good news. Dr. Eng decided that there is no good reason for chemo right now. That's right, no chemo. No radiation. Nothin but healing. Til July 23, when I go back for a scan.
Her reasoning - we have not seen anything suspicious on the scans in over a year except the lung mets that Dr. Hofstetter took out. And I've had a significant amount of chemo during that time. So she's putting me on the wait-and-watch protocol (that's the medical term for it, I think).
I'm trying to comprehend this. This is new territory for me.

Praise God--He is so good--and what a wonderful spring you will have.
Wow! Guess you can call it "time off for good behavior." I can't think of anyone more deserving of a dose of good news. Hope you and Christine can have some fun! Belle & Peter
Thank You Lord
Praise the Lord God Almighty. He is indeed good!
This is good news to our ears and hearts. Adrienne just underwent catheter ablation for heart Arrhythmia at Baylor Heart Hospital in Plano. Other procedures may follow - more consultations coming. Give me a call at your leisure if you�re up to it.
Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow!
Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.
Beautiful! So glad to hear it. So thankful for the Lord's work in your life, Greg. Enjoy the rest and healing process free of chemo.

That's great news to hear! We are so happy for you! Praise God indeed!!
In all these good tidings you seem to have missed the problem with the big picture here, Greg. What in the world are you going to blog about now?
"What a breather!" Hahaha...that's a good one.
