Like Our Good Friend Ice Cube said....
Today was a good day.
I finished my radiation treatments this morning.
Had the scans of my chest and arm yesterday with the results being clear. No difference in my chest and no evidence of any tumor recurrence in my arm.
The second surgery will be the middle of August and after talking to the surgeon yesterday, it appears that the tumor was in the superficial muscles of my forearm. These muscles are incased with a membrane which should have contained the tumor and prevented spreading locally. The second surgery should not involve the median nerve and should have little effect on the function and sensitivity of my hand. Chemo will begin after the surgery.
Scans will continue every three months for the next few years and gradually move to an annual schedule. Getting the call that everything is OK for the second time now is an indescribable relief for Ashley and myself. Thanks for all the love.
Off to the beach....
P.S. I didn't even have to use my AK

I check the site everyday. What a relief that you didn't have to pull out the AK today. There will be many more good days.
Keep playin' bones and yellin' dominoes!
Best,

Great news! I have been keeping up with the blog and love the humor and updates on your progress. Kirk and I are still sending all our healing power and good thoughts your way...

Sorry we missed you at the beach. Heard from Thailand that you may have had an even better time than we did. You and Ashley deserved a "kicked back" time as did your family. This is all great news.
Love you both and mean it!
C.P.,
Fleming just told me about your tumor and blog site. I was shocked and taken back so I simply had to read the entire thing. I will certainly get the prayer chain going in Oklahoma. I hope you are feeling well today and you remain so positive in the coming months. I will keep checking your site for info. and details on your road to recovery. I also checked out Ashley's store website. It was FABULOUS! It looks like I need to make a trip to N.C. and go shopping. Take Care, Karen Davidson Smith
