Finally some positive news!

On Monday Pete had a suspicious lymph node in his chest biopsied. They had to wait until this morning (Thurs) for results, knowing that the surgeon finds 75-80% of these biopsies turn out to be cancerous. Thankfully Pete's results were NEGATIVE for cancer! This means when he starts radiation on Monday the power and area of the radiation will only have to be half as much as it would if cancer would have spread to lymph nodes. Chemotherapy will begin on Tuesday. We are all thankful that Pete's cancer still appears to be very treatable and curable. Thanks for your continued support.
