Happy New Year!
Hi all,
I know it’s been a very long time since I have updated you about Shannon’s progress. He is doing fantastic! So far everything is still clear. He had his one year check ups with both oncologists and there is still no sign of the cancer. They were both very pleased with his progress and recovery from the treatments too. He will be scheduled for a PET scan in June 2008 and then yearly after that. If it is clear the doctor’s visits will be set farther apart as well.
I can’t tell you all just how grateful we are for all your good wishes and prayers throughout this entire ordeal. That is what carried us through. We would still appreciate a prayer on our behalf now and then that this cancer stays gone. As for now though, he is doing great.
If anyone has searched the web because you or someone you love is having a similar experience with cancer, I hope that reading here has helped you and will give you hope. The treatments are very hard and it’s not easy to get your mind around how big something like this is in your life but you can get through it. We wish you the strength and courage to do that.
I hope you all have a very happy new year full of hope, health and happiness.
