April 25: What good news! I haven’t posted updates on my mom’s pancreatic cancer lately…mostly because there hasn’t been much news to report. Since her surgery at Mayo in January 2006, she has been cancer-free. She did follow-up chemotherapy treatments and a clinical trial for a cancer vaccine at Northwestern University last summer. Her cat scan in January did not show any cancer, and now the scan she had today also did not show any cancer. What a relief!! Mom is scheduled to have quarterly cat scans and appointments with her oncologist (they also check-up on her at Northwestern), so the next one will probably be in July. That means that we can all returned to our favorite state of blissful denial that anything was ever wrong with our sweet mommy. Thank heavens:)
