Great News!!!!!

Mom had her appointment with the doctor yesterday before her third round of chemo and she recieved GREAT news!!!! He told us that she is responding great to treatment and that she currently has no cancer activity. We were/are all so happy!!! Since she is responding so well to her treatment she is less likely to relapse after cure.

Cyndi and I stayed with her during her treatment yesterday. We acutally had a nice day there, the nurses are just amazing! Patty was my moms nurse yesterday and she was hysterical. Mom is on her steriods again, I tried getting her to rest last night but she decided she needed to clean. She has felt great all day today! She recieved a shot today to help her white blood cells. Her past two treatments she had to visit the doctors and hospital for seven days after and receive a shot everyday, this time they gave her one shot that will last her for ten days.

Some of you may know that both mom and I really enjoy music. When mom was in the hospital and not doing well I would listen to one song in my car every night as I drove home and cried my eyes out. I decided that I would only let myself cry that drive home because I was not going to give that cancer any more of my pain and tears. Last night I blasted that song and cried my eyes out because I was so happy, my mom is beating this!

She is such a strong woman and I admire her strength and determination to beat this! She is fantastic!!!

We have enjoyed this week that I am off work (I actually think mom and dad are tired of me coming over and stealing snacks and food). We are about to head to dinner, dad, mom, Jeff and I, it should be pretty fun.

Thank you all again for continuing to read this and support mom. It means a lot to us all!

Love, Bear (Kerry)
