"Cancer, you blinked!"

We are staring down the barrel into the heart of this monster and Cancer blinked. Denny finally caught a break in this battle we are waging. The PET scan came back clear! The cancer has not spread to any other area. It is still only in the sinus cavity. This is great news!

The surgery is still scheduled for the morning of May 13th. We will post more info later as the details are resolved. The doctors have their plans in place. All of the questions we emailed in advance were answered. Denny faces some serious challenges in the days ahead. There is no doubt in my mind he can beat this. When I think of him, words like "courageous, indomitable, and determined" come to mind. What do you think? Keep the comments and emails coming! We love hearing from the "Team".

A big "Thank you!" to our neighbor, BJ, for staying with Dana and Daniel while we were gone. She makes it easy for us to do what we need to do. Another "Thank you" to "Grandma Betty", our other neighbor. I see her homemade cinnamon rolls have made their way into our kitchen! We also enjoyed Jodee's scrumptious Strawberry pie. It is surely a blessing to have such special people for neighbors. We're surrounded by one big hug!

It's late now and we just got back to Nashville. Our lives will continue as they always have. We won't give in or back down. Our finger is on the trigger, aiming for the target and we won't miss. We are going to win this fight!

Go, Denny!

Love to all,
Deb

  1. Yeah Denny! That is amazing news...just amazing! I almost want to say I am exited for your surgery- if it was only a simple one! God sure is watching over you and taking care of you too! Deb, all that food your talking about is making me hungry- Tell Denny, life is too short to worry about calories....he better be ready to gain some weight after his surgery- sounds like those neighbors know how to cook! lol
