November 27- Say Good-bye to Brain Cancer

We have the official word from our doctor that the Leukemia cells in his brain are GONE!!! Even the cluster of cells in the membrane along the frontal lobe and two small clusters at the base of the brain, that were a huge concern, have been destroyed. AMEN! The chemotherapy again is doing it’s job, and I’m sure your prayers have speeded things along. Bill does not have to go back for a chemo shot to the Ommaya until Thurs a week.

Bill’s blood counts are rising daily. He is still very tired. It must take a lot of energy to make bone marrow and blood. But each day is getting better. He should be ready for the SEC Championship game on Saturday afternoon.

I probably won’t have any news for several days. But remember, “No News is Good News.” I will let you know the results of his sister’s blood tests as soon as I get the word. That will probably be on December 6th when we go back to the Cancer Clinic.

Caring is all around us, thank you for your love and prayers.

Glad to see the brain results. I have not been sure until now that Bill really had one. I thought it got destroyed by rearing 3 children to adulthood with the largest damage coming during middle school. We never forget you.

Hi Bill & Nancy,

Great News! Keep it coming. Bill will be playing Santa to those grandchildren in a few weeks. Hang in there and remember we are all pulling for you.

An early Christmas present- your brain is back to normal. Our prayers are slowly being answered.

Let's hope that December 6th brings even better news.

Thinking of you often and praying always.
Love,
Paula

Woohoo!!! No brain cancer!!! Reading the good news was such a great start to the day. Keep up the good work, Bill (and of course, Nancy!). I'd write more, but Thing 1 and Thing 2 are getting into trouble.... Take care!
