10/24/07 Great NEWS!!!!!!!

Mark had his scans today. They can't find the cancer anywhere except the colon. Even the lesions that the surgeon found on the peritoneal wall were so small that they didn't show up on the PET scan. This is great news.

Mark has an appointment to meet the surgeon and oncologist at UAB in the morning. They will begin discussing his treatments and whether or not he is a surgical candidate. No one can be sure until they talk with the treatment team...but the lack of metastases is a good sign!

Before getting the results, Mark was feeling good enough to play a round of golf with Matt, Dad, and some of his colleagues from work.

Through struggle there is hope. Through hope there is triumph. Never stop believing.
