John's Progress

Well, I know I have been gone from fb, and my blog for the last 5 months or so, but our lives have been full of trauma, pain, suffering and constant chemotherapy for John......The miracle of it all, is that he is having his 3rd to last treatment today, for Stage 3 Pancreatic Cancer. He was diagnosed back in October, after being very ill for the previous months starting in May 2011. The miracle of it all, is his body has reacted very well to the chemo, and shrunk his tumor to a very small size! I know that through the many prayers, many kind thoughts and deeds of all of you, our friends, and our Lord, we have been able to get through these last months. Thank You so very much! You know who you are!
He still has a lot ahead of him, but we will get through it! I count my many blessings daily! Love to all, Susie ♥
