...my dad has been battling brain cancer for about 18 months. He's had surgery and then chemo...the cancer came back and so he went through radiation... finished that about a month ago.
He had a PET scan and an MRI recently. The first to see if there is cancer anywhere else in his body, the second to see if the radiation was effective. We got the word today that both tests came back clean. Praise God.
I don't know what the future holds for my dad...I am fearful about it. But he's been given some more time, at least. And when we're all together for my nephew's h.s. graduation next weekend, we'll be able to really rejoice.
Just wanted to share my good news.

Oh, wow... You have no idea how much I needed to hear a positive from the cancer world today. A coworker of mine has a little boy who has been fighting neuroblastoma since he was 18 months old (he's 5 now). They were told today that he is officially "terminal" and probably won't see his 6th birthday in July. I am heartbroken for her.
Cancer just really, really sucks. I am SO glad for your dad and your family that his scans are clean. I hope you have a wonderful, relaxing weekend with your family.
