Bye, Bye "C" Word!!!

Totally, wonderful, fantastic news! Chris does not have cancer!!!!!!!

The last couple of months have been so long and stressful - thinking Chris had cancer and with all the doctors appointments and procedures Chris had to go through.

After each test came back inconclusive I had a little bit of hope build up in me - but didn't let it build for the fear of it being crushed. But now I can finally really embrace the good news and be just so happy inside.

We meet with the oncologist early this morning. He said they have looked, and looked and done every test possible - but there is no sign of cancer. He does still want to keep an eye on Chris though - just to make sure.

Chris will start seeing a rheumatologist, Dr. LaSalle, so he can start treatment for Lupus. Some of the medicine will be the same that he took for his other autoimmune disorder - polymyositis.

Again - Chris is kind of a mystery to the medical world and he will be on a treat, wait and see kind of treatment. We just keep praying that we are on the right track and the medicines for Lupus will restore his health again.

Thank you everyone for your prayers!!!!!! We have really been able to feel them in our lives. We feel so blessed and grateful for all that Heavenly Father has helped us through.
