Follow-up Dr. Visit 8/12/09

Hi All: Just a quick post regarding Sam's visit today with Dr. Celin. I'm happy to report that the good doctor feels that Sam looks well and the physical exam did not reveal any issues.

We are coming up to a year since the treatments ended and that prompted the decision to schedule another PET/CT Scan for sometime in September. Dr. Celin said that the likelihood of these cancers returning are greatest in the first two years with the majority occurring in the first year, so getting a clean PET/CT will make us all feel better.

Sam did gain a few pounds and according to their scale his weight is now 155 pounds. And, considering his challenges with certain foods, that's a positive sign.

If you are praying for us, we would ask that you continue to pray that Sam would remain in remission.

God Bless.
Maddy

Wow. Maddy, I can't believe that you are coming up on a year already. Wow.

Praise God. Hitting those markers is a giant exhale.

Love to you both
