I'm bumping this back up because I want to send out a heartfelt thanks to ya'll. Thank you very much for all the thoughts and prayers.
My daughter has been getting chemo treatments at Emory for the last several months and now they are near the point of deeming her in remission. She is still going to have a few more treatments to make sure but she has been released to get those near her home in Dublin.
Rains it pours, during the same time period, my wife was found to have a cancerous lump in her breast. Fortunately it was found when still very small and easily removed surgically with zero spreading to the lymph nodes. She will have some follow up radiation treatments to make sure it is gone. The lesson learned from that story is DO NOT neglect your routine tests and exams, especially when you get a certain age. Man or woman, this was all scary enough to convince me.
