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.
I am so happy for you both, I know how hard it was for you. This is a brand new year for you both, new adventures, new life, treasure every moment. You both are blessed. Please know that I am always thinking of you both
(((((Hugs))))

I’m happy to hear of Shannon’s progress and curious to hear how he is doing now with his weight, eating, taste, strength, mental health everything. I have nasopharangyl cancer and have recently completed the radiation and part of the chemo regimen. I feel positive but nervous about whether we’re “getting everything”. He is lucky to have a support person like yourself. I too have a great wife and I’m not sure where I’d be without it.
