and we are so happy. Her last exam showed that wonderful condition NED (No Evidence of Disease), and the doctors told her she could have her port removed. Thus, last week she went into the hospital once more for deportation.

(For those who are blissfully unaware of what a port is--as I was until Carmen's nightmare began--it is a subcutaneous membrane installed with a line directly into a vein so that it is not necessary to have an IV each time chemotherapy is administered or blood is drawn. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_(medical) for more information. Therefore, having it removed is a wonderfully welcome sign of completion of treatment!)

So now life gets back to normal. Carmen again has some energy and is enjoying life again. Well, all except the work part. One of Carmen's childhood friends died as a result of cervical cancer, as she did not have medical coverage and thus did have it diagnosed on time. Just a reminder: this is a largely preventable cancer, caused by a virus, and not genetically inherited! There are now vaccines that are 95+% effective in preventing this cancer, so please get yourself or your girls vaccinated--there is just no reason for anyone to have this disease!

That's great, Zepp! Coincidentally, my sister last week got an NED following a breast lumpectomy and 28 follow-up radiation treatments. Not as rough a go as Carmen's, but exhausting nonetheless. My best to both of you.

Wonderful news indeed!
My wife's CC is history - knock on all sorts of wood.
& Just today I myself got a negative biopsy report on
what was thought to be oral cancer.
The sun is shining and the world is rosy!
