Good news and more chemo...

So the good news is that the PET scan showed no sign of cancer anywhere else in Lana's body.  Hooray!!!  We were really hoping and praying for those results.  
But...(there's always a big but)...since they did find cancer cells in some of the lymph nodes they removed during surgery, she will have to do more chemo.
We were pretty excited when we thought she was done with chemo but her doctor wants to make sure that all the cancer cells are gone so that Lana doesn't have to go through this all again down the road.
Better safe than sorry.
So starting next Tuesday, she will get chemo once a week for 12 weeks.  Her doctor assured her that it is a lower dose and shouldn't be as awful as before.  We are crossing our fingers that he is right.  
After the 12 weeks of chemo, there will be some radiation.  So hopefully by Christmas, she will be cancer-free and done with treatments!!

We are so grateful for all the prayers and support!!  Thank you!!!

As you can see, Lana is looking as beautiful as ever and has not lost her sense of humor!!
