We have some good news to share. On Wednesday this week, June 18, I had my first CAT scan following my chemotherapy, which ended on May 29. As you can imagine we were a bit anxious of the results. But we received a call from our surgeon on Friday saying the CAT scan looked "beautiful". She said there was nothing in the scan that caused her any concern, that the radiologist had also reviewed the scan results and indicated the same. Wow, what great news! We are so thankful to God. I have a follow up appointment this coming week with both the oncologist and the surgeon to discuss these results and plan out their followup care for the remainder of ths year. They have already indicated that we will do a CAT scan every 90 days for this next year, so the followup is already pretty clear. With these results we have a clear window for the next 90 days or so. As you all most likely know, the concern now is any reoccurrence, and the periodic CAT scans are designed to watch for that. So we appreciate your continued prayers, that God might be pleased to remove this cancer completely and that I might have no reoccurrence. As always we live with the joyful confidence that all our days are in His wonderful hands, and whatever He is pleased to do is for our ultimate good, that we might be conformed to the likeness of His Son, Jesus.
Once again, thank you to all for your love and so many expressions of care and concern, so many assurances of continued prayer on our behalf. It means so much to us.

So pleased to read this report, Walt. The kids deliver updates to me from time to time. I'm in Seattle on business for two weeks; am enjoying the temperate climate and beauty that is so typically "northwest".
Regards to all....
