Cancer Free!

Kevin remains cancer free. Dr. Yoo (oncologist) came up last night to give us the good news from the pathology report. There was some miniscule recurrence of the PMP (the slow-growing mucinous disease), but absolutely NO carcinoma cells. Dr. Yoo is recomending no further chemo., just tumor markers every three months and CT scans every six months.

Alice* had even better news yesterday when she woke up from surgery--no recurrence! We've declared 7/13 an official holiday--Hyland/Kersey Cancer Free Day. We plan to celebrate it annually for a long time to come.

Alice is in the room next door. The two of them will be stirring up trouble together in no time.

Kevin starts his liquid diet today. Mmmmmm.

*Alice Hyland is the 26-year-old who lives and works near us. She and Kevin were hospital buddies last Feb./Mar. Kevin had the Mother of all surgeries one day before Alice's MOAS.
