Nothing but the best news to report!! Mom is continuing to heal, and we all just marvel at her! Although she has had some discomfort with the drains, she has not had to use any of her pain medication. Her visit to the doctor went really well. She still has one drain in, and hopefully it will come out next week. But, the best news was when the doctor told her that they got ALL the cancer out!!! He thought the margins were great, and although we knew that the one lymph node they took was infected, the others were not. It's the best news we've ever heard! They got it all! Thank you, Jesus!!!
The timing of this good news was perfect, too. Her sisters have been here for the last week taking care of her, and they can fly back home tonight knowing that their beloved sister is cancer-free!! Mom will still continue with the chemo treatments as a preventative measure. She will meet with her oncologist, Dr. Reyes to find out when she can start again, but we anticipate a few more weeks still without any chemo so that she can continue to heal.
We are all feeling SO relieved and SO grateful! Praise to the Lord for what He has done! We can not begin to thank you all enough for your support, prayers, love and kindness. Mom and the rest of us were always blown away by the thoughtfulness and generosity of her friends and our family. You all have made this easier to go through. Thanks for cheering her on! She's quite a fighter, and she's WON!
We love you!

What wonderful news from the Barkley Blog! Sorry we have been out of touch, but you all have been in our thoughts and prayers this spring and summer. It's clear that you have had wonderful care from family, friends, doctors, nurses...and of course, the Good Lord. Beautiful family--once I relocated the Barkley Spring Newsletter, I read every post! The Denver Mohrmans add their best wishes for a great recovery. Hugs and kisses, girlfriend! Connie
