The Scan is Clean!

Holly got confirmation from Dr Rodriguez today that her latest scan is clean.  Its hard to say that she's cancer free however.  She needs to do 2 more chemo cycles and then another scan 3 months after that.  If the scan is clean after that, it will be considered in remission, and hopefully it won't return.

The doctor said no need for radiation, or bone marrow transplant.  Whew!

So we are all very pleased in the Johnson household, that I can assure you.  Now we just need to get Holly through 2 more cycles and get her health back to 100%, which can take awhile.  Chemo does horrible things to your body, and it will take awhile for her to get back to her old self.

  1. That is fantastic news. I am so thrilled to hear that there are only 2 treatments left. More excited that the radiation and bone marrow transplant might not be necessary.

    There is a lot that can be said about getting to the point that you can tell the light at the end of the tunnel is the exit and not another train. Weylin and I are both so happy for you guys !!! I'll bet Holly can't wait to be able to play with those grandkids again without having to worry. When you do play with them next Holly, give them a big hug for us as well.

    With love, prayers, and happy thoughts,

    Jim and Weylin
