Tony and I arrived home late this afternoon from UCLA. The 6th and final round of chemotherapy is over! A Pet Scan will be done in 2 weeks to confirm the remission of cancer, which is what we all expect will be the case.
Tony and I will meet with Dr. Territo, Tony's Oncologist at UCLA, on December 2nd. We will find out at that time, what this next year will require in terms of follow up....ie., blood tests...Pet scans...medications, etc.
Today we feel like we can and are, walking away from cancer. It's over and now we look to the future. Tony will try to gain weight, while I try to lose it. The focus now will be his physical therapy and using any and all treatments in order to improve his nerve function.
We now ask for specific prayers for Tony. That the Lymphoma will not return...and that Tony will regain the use of his arm and leg. We have seen so many positive answers to prayer these last 5 months. You all have been faithful to pray and our Heavenly Father has answered those prayers with a resounding YES! We are so grateful.
Happy Thanksgiving from all of the Frisinas

ReplyDeleteSO much more to be thankful for this Thanksgiving than ever. I was thinking this morning, that the older I get, the more thankful I am. Certainly thankful for God's hand in my uncle Tony's life & healing! xoxo
