Good News

Hi everyone Its been 146 days since Carmen was operated on for Colon Cancer and today Dr Ghandi told him that his blood count is almost normal and will get better as time goes by and he will not have to have the intervenous treatments he had planned for him. So you can imagine the joy Carmen and I felt as we left that office today It has changed Carmens attitude tremendously the last few hours. No more radiation either.I was getting on his case about getting out and walking again and he would not go but today he said "now that I know I am better I will walk" The Dr's will not give patients a false sense of hope by telling them anything until they are sure the treatments are working and that has been frustrating for us BUTnow we are on the up side of this heinous disease and the thing we are most grateful for is the prayers that have been offered in his behalf because we know that those prayers were heard and answered by our Heavenly Father I will not even ask for that beautiful white hair to return but will be happy with the black hair thats there and getting thicker every day. He has not had a hair cut since mid September 2007. We thank each and everyone of you for the prayers and phone calls and gifts that were given, Carmen will be on Chemo until mid summer but that has been a cake walk for him as he has had no side affectsNow to find a solution for "Cabin Fever" and get his mind filled with good stuff again is my goal. We hope that all of you will enjoy good health and not have to experience anything as severe as this disease can be. We love each of you and we plan to have a great summer and find a place to get away to and enjoy a vacation soon. Love to All Carmen and Jean
