Subject: RE: BS: Prayers/Good Thoughts Needed
Well we went back to the ortho surgeon today to have Neil's staples removed, 44 of them. The surgeon said everything has gone as well as he could have ever imagined it would. The incision is healing up great, and he can now walk around the house without the leg brace. The Doc said all of the margins came back negative, what that means is the extra tissue they took around the tumor, healthy tissue, came back with no cancer cells!!! YAY!!!! He still has to have 3 rounds of chemo but will probably not have to have any more radiation. And they will always watch for recurrence, but how can it possibly think of coming back with all of the prayers, positive energy, and support of many, many friends and family. Soooo.... thanks again everyone, your kindness has made this journey a little easier for us to bear.

                                              Love to All,
