Wonderful News!

Today has indeed been a wonderful day, both for the country and the Nolans.  Today we learned the results of Bill's latest PET and MRI scans.  Both were very good!!  No cancer in the brain and continued progress in the rest of the body.  We are thrilled!!  We had almost forgotten how it feels to be happy.  We feel so blessed.  

Bill goes back to the oncologist in a month and at that time we will discuss follow up chemo in a pill form that supposedly has very little side effects.  They want him to have a chance to put on some weight and build up his strength before dealing with chemo again.   This is considered a preventative measure.  We have not had much time to discuss this next step yet, but I'm sure Bill will want to at least give it a try.  

Fanny is still keeping us very busy.  She is a cutie, but a real handful, it's like having a baby again.  

As always, thanks so much for keeping our family in your prayers.  It certainly is working.  Hope to see you as we begin to get out and about again.  Holly
