Update #3 January 2009

Happy New Year!!!

We started the year off with Great News. Bonnie is now cancer free. She had a colonoscopy on the 7th and the doctor said everything was clean, not even any polyps. We are excited. She is relieved.
She had a CT scan in mid December and they said they couldn't see anything from it either.

She is still having back pain and she may have some scar tissue on the outside of the large bowel where it was re-sected from the first surgery, There was no scar tissue inside the bowel and you could see where it was stitched.
Thanks to everyone again for your many notes, thoughts, foods, kindnesses, and especially your valued prayers.
It has been a long, hard year, but we still found a way to get in some great travel (WAC Tourney in Las Cruces , Yellowstone, Family reunion in Ephriam, Lake Mead/Vegas/Aggie Football, Orlando, and St George) and hope to do more travel in 2009. We already have a trip to Reno (WAC Tourney) planned in March and we will take a trip to Cancun this spring. Then a family reunion at Bear Lake this summer and probably a couple more before the year is out. Can you think of a better way to celebrate (or not)(who needs a reason) than to travel?

Thanks again.

It's very gratifying to see the positive results. I haven't posted before because I was too worried and I didn't know what to say. Now I'm just happy that things are going well!
