Such wonderful news!

My friend, Suzanne, has been battling cancer in the lymph glands for about a year. She first of all noticed a nodule in her neck, and after some delay, began treatment earlier this year. Her chemo treatments were two days in a row, once a month, for 6 months. Things mostly went smoothly for her, Suzanne not losing her hair, but only having it change color and texture. I guess a person can live with that. Toward the end here she changed jobs and in so doing, insurances, and there was a snag as regarded a follow-up PET scan. After several weeks it was granted and today she reported good news to us---she is in remission and presently cancer free. Praise be to God!

This news was texted to Judy, her mom-in-law, while we were at lunch at Longhorn. She was able to report to the table of ladies this wonderful news from Suzanne. We are all so glad for Suzanne and her family. She was blessed to have so many folks thinking about her and keeping her in prayer. Our continued prayers are with her that she remains cancer free the rest of her life. We have a good and gracious Lord!
