Elated!!

We are elated!! Robert's CT scan was clear. The doctor had to say clear a couple of time before it sank in. We along with the Chemo doctor, well me along with the chemo Dr. were surprised. Robert said all along he knew the treatments were working and the tumors were gone. I should have faith like him. CLEAR that is our new word. Robert and I walk around just saying clear, clear. We are so thankful and relieved. Robert has one more hurdle. He will have a PET scan September the 5th. That is a more precise scan and will pick up even the smallest spot.

Robert asked the doc if he could go back to work and he said no way. He would re-evaluate him in a couple of months and go from there. That is not what he wanted to hear, he is ready to go back now. I will have my work cut out for me trying to keep him busy the next couple of months. So if anyone wants to come visit you are more than welcome.

One of his doctors is getting him set up for physical therapy on his neck. I really hope it works his skin is so tight and there is the chance that after all the surgeries and radiation that the scar tissue will set up and will limit his movement even more. Also, Robert is having really bad headaches, he is taking his pain med. with out me even nagging him. So they must be bad. The doctor said for him to slow down on his neck exercises for a bit and see if it helps.

Well we just wanted to share the good news with you. Hope all is well and God Bless!
