After some very stressful busy days at MDACC cramming tests and numerous doctor visits, Joe was declared in COMPLETE REMISSION by Doctor Oki since Dr. Romaguera was out of the country until 6/21. All results showed no Mantle Cell Lymphoma. Praise be to God. We are so thankful that there are not enough words to state how we feel. We are experiencing a complexity of emotions.
More on what transpired will come when life slows down a little bit but I know how everyone was anxiously awaiting the news on the blog.
We start our trek home on Saturday morning and will be home on Sunday.
Stay Tuned. Thank you for your prayers and great thoughts that made us able to reach this goal with our bodies and minds somewhat still intact.
Ciao
Doin'! The Happy Dance!

We 3 down here are COMPLETELY thrilled, WW!!!! You're probably on the road already, but when you get this, give "Mr. Joe" hugs from Cayleigh, Gail & I! (Add hugs to yourself & "Mr. Max", too)!
ReplyDeleteSo pleased! Our combined prayers can work wonders!! (I guess the Drs. had a bit to do with it also) You two have been through quite an ordeal. And you did it with strength and grace, at least as much as possible!
