Cancer Shmancer!!

A lot has happened since my last update. Mom went in on Monday to begin round 3 of her chemotherapy treatments and we've received nothing but GOOD news! Today we found out a test that monitors how much cancer is in her has changed drastically for the better! So rather than going into the medical jargin that I don't even understand, the jist of it is that the chemo is working and she's beating it slowly but surely.

I think Mom's getting a little sick of these hospital visits. Crossword puzzles and trashy supermarket magazines probably get old really fast! But if nothing else, she has given up completely on the hospital food! Who can blame her? Every day she has my Uncle Ed or some other fmaily member drop off lunch and dinner. And for those of you who know Ed's cooking, you know she's eating well.

Another good thing is that Mom is now smoke-free for over 2 months and counting!!! Just a little reminder that she quit cold-turkey after over 30 years of continuous smoking! Talk about tough...

And if you haven't read, Senator Menendez has decided to show support for a very important bill that will really make a huge difference in the fight against O.C. (Read the articles below by my brother Charlie to learn more about Johanna's Law and other ways people are trying to make a difference!)

Please continute to visit this site and leave messages. They all get printed up and show to Mom. Also if you haven't yet, give her a call. She's got a lot of time on her hands these days and would love to have a friendly chat.

Thanks,

Andy
