Sweet Answered Prayer!

Dave talked to the oncology nurse this afternoon and she relayed the message that his bone marrow came back normal, his heart function is normal, his PET scan shows "minimal disease," and they want him to start chemotherapy next Tuesday! I don't exactly know what "minimal disease" means, but we'll take it.

He still has to have his port put in, and that is scheduled for the end of next week, so they might actually start the chemo a week later. We'll find out about that on Monday.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for the prayers! Please keep them coming; we know the treatment isn't going to be a cakewalk. But for now, I'm squealy excited - spontaneous, uncontrolled squealing bursting out of my body in fits of joy. It's like new car squealing, but more. And better.
