What a journey! Congratulations to Elaine on her new position. Special ed is a tough job - she's a very special lady to be able to handle it.

It's always great to hear success stories in the cancer war front - my wife and I are walking that same journey, now. She was diagnosed with uterine cancer just before last spring break, and the initial path report, once all the plumbing was removed, was that it appeared that the cancer had not spread. It looked like we had dodged a bullet.

Unfortunately, the follow-up CAT scan in June showed seven new tumors scattered through her abdomen. Finally diagnosed as a rhabdomyosarcoma, apparently extremely rare in adults, still rare but usually seen in kids, the first two rounds of the general chemo routine weren't effective and the tumors continue to grow pretty aggressively. So we're off to Houston early in September to see what M.D.Anderson has to offer.

But, again, very happy for your wife's recovery and I'll bet y'all are glad to see life kinda return to normal.
