I write this entry with great relief, the CT scan I had last week showed no growth or signs of the tumor in my chest. The MRI looks exactly like it did in January, which means the tumor did not grow at all, which is what they look for. Both doctor Hung and Dr. Ryan said this was better than they ever expected. They were very pleased that again, I have no pain and that I am back to running. The plan is for me to go back in three months for another MRI. The only thing I have to be aware of is that if I feel any pain I have to give him a call. So I will keep that in mind. This routine will continue for a year. Dr. Hung says time is our friend and our hopes are that it never comes back, so we will keep our fingers crossed. So right now our whole family is celebrating because this is the best scenario we could have expected. Thanks again for every body's thoughts and prayers, they really helped keep me going. Three cheers for modern technology! Kath and I love showing off our new home, so if anybody happens to travel by Salem, give us a call and let us know. You wont find it on mapquest because it is such a new street, so we will give you directions.
