By Golly, It Was Good News

We spent half an hour or more speaking with Dad's oncologist. Four of his nine children showed up to share the moment with him, to support him. Even though the tumor marker numbers in his blood are going up, a problem, of course, the tumors have not changed. His brain is clear of malignancies. His esophagus, where this journey began, is clear...that tumor has disappeared. He will start a new chemo regime tomorrow. He's willing to give it a chance, and if it doesn't work, head for Arizona.

We can live with that. He can too. I'm hoping for a long, long time.
