Miracles Are Not Always What We Expect

from www.postchronicle.com:

>>Treatments began at once and in an aggressive manner. Initially, it was standard radiation treatments followed by cyberknife and chemo. Surgery was out of the question because the tumor was too close to her heart, lungs, and was wrapped around her spine. There was a sense of urgency, but no palpable sense of hope. The wait began, and while it was never characterized as a death watch, there were times when it did take on that feeling.

...

It has been nearly three years since the journey started, and I am happy to say that Jennifer is still with us and stronger than she has been in a very long time. Though not in traditional remission, the cancer is not as active as it once was.
