This week the doctors put Mark thru the series of scans that had been used back in September when he was originally diagnosed. I am happy to report that all the tests came back clear. He is cancer free !! We are in shock, as really didn't know what to expect, and have had a few days to let it all sink in. As with all cancer survivors, they will continue to run the tests every 3-6 months, and then annually for 5 years to ensure that it remains gone.
We both have felt like we have been in purgatory the past 3 months once his treatment ended, just waiting to find out his diagnosis. It has been an incredible road these past 7 months. He still has some issues that we are dealing with; kidneys continue to improve, but still need to get stronger.
His weight is stable but hasn't really improved. He is still hovering at 142 pounds. Hearing tests and a hearing aid are in his future. But it all seems minor considering what he has been thru. We are both still in awe of the love and support Team Mark provided us during his battle. We could not have made it this far without all of you. We love you, Perry.
