As many of you know, my wife has been fighting Lymphoma since we had it diagnosed the first week in March. With three rounds of chemo down, we had new scans done Monday… and got results today.

All of the other lymph nodes are now clear. The fluid that had collected on her lungs is gone. All that remains is the original tumor that caused the symptoms that sent her into the doctor in the first place – and it has been reduced by half or more in size.

This is quite possibly the best news we could have had today short of “its completely gone.” We’re elated… and wanted to share the good news.

We went to the Shops at Willow Bend after the appointment this morning to celebrate by buying some Godiva chocolate… and I saw this statue in the food court. The light was hitting her just right.. and after I shot the original image with my iPhone, I noticed the sunbeams all around her… the level of exultation at just feeling the sunlight.. reaching out to hug the heavens is exactly how I felt at that moment… and just retouched it further in Paint Shop Pro… Enjoy.
