Fantastic News!!

I recieved a phone call from my Mom Friday morning. Usually early morning calls are really good or really bad.... this one was fantastic!!!
Most of you know that she has been fighting breast cancer for the last six years. Thru the tough times and all the changes she has been so strong and has refused to be defeated. Her oncologist has always said that the tumor marker number we want to see is anything below 40. The numbers have steadily decreased sometimes in leaps and bounds, or times point by point.
The fantastic news is that the marker is number is 33!!!!!
For now that means her every other week treatment will continue and then probably go down to once a month. We are all so excited at the progress that has been made. Not only is the cancer being beaten into submission but she is able to do most everything for herself again.
The kids love to spend special time with Grandma Vicki. We are so blessed to have her in our daily lives! I love you Mom!
