So we didn't have the winning Mega Millions ticket. Bummer. The bigger no is that Darell's cancer is not gone yet. There is still 1 detectable mass left that is less then 1 inch. So it has gotten smaller and now only in 1 area which is good, but not yet gone. The doctor told us Hodgkin's disease can be really slow about going away. He isn't sure if the area has live cell's in it or if it's scare tissue. A CAT scan only see the image not what type. So in March Darell is going to have PET scan done which will be able to tell if there is live cells or not. If the tumor is active - meaning live cells then Darell will have surgery and have it removed. This is not cut and dry for Darell because he is a hard patient to operate on. His body is a mass bleeder. I thought of questions we should have asked as we were driving home so Darell may go back by the doctor's office to get them answered. Sometimes you learn as you go along. We are in uncharted waters for us.
It's snowing here again. The next big question is if we will have a white Christmas. Humm...

Hey, friend. Sorry to hear about a small mass still being detectable. I know you were not hoping for that news. Praying for you...
