Cancer Assassin honored!

Mom, Dad and Barb drove in Tuesday for Dad's last scheduled chemo treatment. Carrissa,their patient advocate, came down to see them, and to tell them about some cool news. John Stoddard (the cancer center where Dad is being treated) has a team running the Race for the Cure (I think that's the one). They have taken as their moniker," Cancer Assissins! " It sounded to me, that they had done that in Dad's honor! He was pleased, and Mom was so excited! Dad has really made an effort to be an encouragement to the other patients and to the staff, I think they have noticed!
Dad had an MRI yesturday and will get the results on Monday. This is assessing his brain for any return of tumors. The last scan back a while ago, showed "no sign of tumors" I know they are anxious. If those of you who are following this blog would like to send or call words of hope and encouragement, or just to say hi, this would be a good time to do that!
The next scan will be a Pet scan in April and that will give the low down on every thing else.
I know Mom would add, Thank God Spring is coming to Iowa, even if it is a little snow (whoops freudian slip) I meant slow coming!!!! They can hardly wait to be able to sit in their red rocking chairs out on the porch! You all come! there is always room for more! Love kris
