For those of you that missed
the update on
FaceBook.
Just a quick note to say-
John is still cancer free.
He now goes from being scoped every
FOUR weeks
to being scoped every
SIX weeks.
That is progress.
There is some concern that his
THYROID is not functioning.
It is most likely damaged from
all of the
RADIATION.
But- Thyroids (or lack thereof)
can be regulated with meds.
That explains why he is
SO EXHAUSTED
all of the time.
We were lucky enough to have our
LITTLE LULU
stay with us for four days
this past weekend.
She as as beautiful
INSIDE as she is on the OUTSIDE.
We are blessed!
I am off to the VA
this morning
and then coming home to pack for
a
LITTLE ADVENTURE.
I will fill you all in on that later!

Very good news!! When might they start dealing with the thyroid issue? I'm sure he would be happy to have more energy. -Jenn
Amazing and very happy news! Praise God! Let us hope and pray for continued good health! Enjoy your week and celebrate!
Very good news! Your Lulu is beautiful and isn't she the one who is the singer? Singing praise to God for all our blessings.
Excellent report and knowing about the thyroid is a very good thing. It is no fun being tired all the time. Have a happy day! (Planning trips is always happy for you. I still remember that midnight ride...)
Such great news!!! And yep, replacement Rx for thyroid function will help ALOT with John's fatigue (I had to have my thyroid completely removed in 2010). Continued prayers for continued good health!

Lulu is so pretty. What a blessing to enjoy her visit!
So glad that you got this good news.
Good Morning!

This is wonderful news. I have thyroid problems also and I can tell you the tiredness is something I struggle with each day. The medication does help a lot.
What wonderful news! Our daughter had her thyroid removed when she was 17. She is 44 now and the meds have always worked....hugs....
Diana, that is great news, NO CANCER is always a blessing to hear those words. Progress is being made in extending the time between checkups. YOur LuLu is not little anymore and just a beautiful girl. My husband (thehubs) is on thyroid medication after having thyroid cancer. We had a scare this year, his 5 year anniverary, but they are watching him closely and he will be retested again in April. We are blessed to have good health care through the VA and the Choice program they are using now. Thank you for your volunteering at the VA, I know that our veterans love the kindness the volunteers spread through the buildings. Have a great day and enjoy your upcoming adventure!
Your grandchildren inherited the most beautiful smiles!

Such good news!!! That makes me very happy. :) Love that pic of Lulu too...she is just beautiful and she has the BEST hair! Very pretty girl! xoxo
Praising the Lord for the good report! So thankful that the scope can be spread out and not so often, and will pray too that the doctors can regulate his thyroid with medication! I'm sure you are up to something very fun, will look forward to hearing about it :) Always nice to have something fun to do in the winter! Hugs to you today :)
Oh I am so glad John is still cancer free.
Thyroids are funny things....hopefully they can help in that department.
Have a great day!!

Time away, good for you! I look forward to hearing all about it.

Praise be to the Lord - this is great news.
As for the thyroid - new prayers being sent up for that too. It's scary but not dreadful-beyond-hope!
Your sweet Lulu sure has grown into a lovely young lady!
Happy adventures. Enjoy - you've earned it, hon. Hugs.
I'm so glad to hear of John's good results! And although I'm sorry to hear his thyroid isn't working, it's good they found the cause of his fatigue. Hope it all gets regulated and he's feeling better soon.
Lulu is beautiful. I know you enjoyed her staying with you!
Enjoy your adventure!
Your John's health news sounds very promising. Lulu is gorgeous. Have a great day.
Looking back on some of the early posts re John's difficulties, it seems you two have had a long row to hoe this past year. Hoping you're off to a wonderful, restful time! Behave yourself and no putting fruit on John's head while he sleeps.
Such good news!!! Sending prayers for John's continued remission and good health!! Your grand daughter is stunning!!
Hugs,
Debbie
So great to hear the wonderful news, Diana. I continue to keep the two of you in my prayers. Your granddaughter is a true beauty. Safe travels.

Such wonderful news and oh yes. let us praise the Lord! Your precious LuLu is stunning! Hugs and blessings sweet lady, Cindy
I love the teaser. Can't wait to hear more and I love LuLu's picture! Happy dance here for the good news!
Diana, I am so glad to hear that your hero is doing well. Yes, the thyroid can be treated. I had thyroiditis for a year meaning that my labs were up and down and could not be treated. Doctors said the inflamation would go away and my thyroid would become slow and I'd be treated for hypothyroidism. That's exactly what happened. So glad it wasn't the worse case senario. You are such a positive person. I know that has helped his recovery.
Love the pictures of your grand children!
They really are such good looking boys and girls.
May God continue blessing you and yours!
So happy for your good news. Your grandchildren are such blessings.
So happy to hear John is still cancer free. Hope he can get help with his thyroid/fatigue issue. Lulu is gorgeous. What a beautiful dress! xo
So much good news, Diana!! And a beautiful grand daughter to boot!! ;)
So good to hear. I look forwards to your adventure.
Great news!...and have fun on your adventure!
Soooo glad to hear John is doing great and cancer free. Enjoy your get away.
Hugs,
Kris

Your little LuLu is very pretty... sweet girl xox As I said before, so happy your hero is okay, my sister had to have her thyroid removed... she will be on medications for the rest of her life, it took a bit to regulate the meds but she's doing well now xox
Hi Diana and a big woo hoo for John! Such wonderful news. I am so happy for all of you, I know it has been a long haul. Can Lulu get any more lovely? Your grands are growing so quickly! Jane
