Clarification...

Just to clarify. We have not been told by Darell's oncologist that his cancer is in remission. His doctor is quite hopeful that it is in remission but we DO NOT know this for sure yet. Darell will have a CAT scan done this week and on the 12th we will get the results and know for sure. I think there was some miss information passed on. Like I posted last week that we are hopeful but not sure. Just 3 weeks ago we were told Darell would probably have 8 chemo's not 6. So we don't know. Don't get me wrong I am hopeful that things are gone but till we see the results of the scan we are not getting our hopes up. I hope that makes sense.

Another thing to keep in mind is Darell is far from being out of the woods. He has a high chance of the cancer coming back or a different type of cancer. Because of his adrenal problem his body cannot defend itself like yours or mine can. After being cancer free for 5 years then we begin to relax.

Our short term goal for the next year is for everyone to be healthy. No major medical is our goal.
