Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 663 | We had our first check up with the ENT today since treatment started and the doc says that the tumor is shrinking nicely. We are almost half way through... Yeaaaaaa!!!
We really needed some good news and this was just the prescription.
My nursing skills seem to be improving a little so I guess that I am learning something. LOL
My mother called me Nurse Rachett. I think that Harry felt the same for a while there. :-)
I know that our journey is still long but it was nice to get a ray of sunshine today. Even though the weather was atrocious today.
Just thought I would share the good news!

What GREAT news! I bet you and Harry are breathing a little easier now huh? Glad to hear your nursing skills are improving...LOL..I knew you could do it! Your half way through, keep up the good work. I see that you live in Texas. My husband has a ton of relatives who live in Texas. I have never been there yet, but we want to go visit soon. I told my husband there are 2 things I have to do in Texas, ride a horse and buy a cowboy hat!! Give Harry my best, tell him to hang in there.
Hugs,
