As I mentioned last night, Jen and I visited with Reznick yesterday and the cancer is gone. According to the scan, there is still a small (3mm)mass in my left lung and Reznick is pretty clear that it is scar tissue and nothing to worry about. I will now start to see Reznick once a month and have scans every 2 months for the first year. After that, the visits will become every 3 months, then every 6 months and this will go on for 5 years. If there are no signs of the cancer during the next 4-5 years, they will officially declare the cancer in remission.

Obviously, this was this information we wanted to hear and there was a huge sense of relief knowing things are clear. At this moment, it's hard for me to even understand everything that has gone on over the past 4 months as I feel like I've just gotten out of the blender. The exciting thing is that I feel pretty good and the Dr. said I have no limitations so I expect things to continue getting better.

I'm not sure where to start in thanking people as there are so many and I fear leaving anyone out. Jennifer, the girls and I have had more support than you can imagine and it helped us get through this. Everyone in both of our families have been there when we needed them and we have called them a lot. Stewart Title has fed us and given Jennifer the flexibility to take time off and work remotely so she could get me to appointments. Mercury has given me time off and taken things off my plate so I could concentrate on getting better. In the next few days, I might attempt to acknowledge everyone and want to make sure I have a complete list before I start naming names. What I am comfortable doing is making a very honest statement and that is to thank everyone who has supported us as it would have been much harder without your contribution.

THANK YOU,

Sam
