On Monday Larry had his PET scan and on Wednesday we met
with the Doc. The second round of chemo didn't work; his cancer cells weren't
affected. On the flip-side of that, the cancer has not yet spread to other
organs or tissues. It is stabilized in his lymph node system. We all realize
now that the cancer is here to stay. What the Doc and we hope is that the
cancer stays where it is...and not metastasized into other areas so quickly.
Not until it does will Plan C (whatever that may be) go into effect. All three
of us (Doc included) look forward to a good run through into the spring. Beyond
that, no one can say. Both of us are dealing with the situation, and we have a
good outlook for 2013. He feels quite fine and is now in the woods at the
Vandalia cabin with the boys hunting the second deer season. As you know, Larry
and I have tried intensely to live our life large (deep and wide!!). Our three
week trip to Costra Rica in January and our month-long stay in the Keys is
keeping us chipper. Doc is pushing us to enjoy life...and we WILL ! You know
and understand us well enough to realize we still are smiling, and laughing, and
relishing our family and friends.
