It's all good!!!

Hi, all!
Well, we got the written report from the scans last week and I couldn't believe the news. The bone scan showed "no evidence of metastatis to the skeleton". WOW! Then the Cat scan results were even better. Most of the masses in the lungs and the renal cavity have SHRUNK since my last scan in May. And the Torisel that I'm on is not supposed to shrink tumors, just keep them at bay. So, needless to say, Jim and I are quite happy and looking forward to a lot more time together and with our new grandchild--when he comes.
I can't thank you all enough for all your prayers and support. I just know that that is what is getting me through all of this. I am so blessed!
Love you all!
Linda

I knew I had been bad about keeping in touch lately, but I didn't realize I was so bad that I didn't know anything about all that you've been going through these last 2 years until now. I'm so happy to hear that things are going well, and that you're going to be a grandma soon! Add one more person to the list of people praying for you.
Love,
Lori Arlinghaus

I am so glad to hear things are continuing to go well!

I'm leaving for Australia tomorrow and hopefully will be able to post photos of the cool things I see there at http://brittneyintheoutback.blogspot.com

I really hope things continue to improve and that Meg Flum and I can come visit at Christmastime again.
