Hello to all of our friends and family,
As you all know Dennis went for his PET Scan today. When we first got there unfortunately they told us there was about a 2 hour delay, I guess the PET Scan in the Mays clinic brook down so they were sending all of those people to the Main MDA. But believe me when we say it didn’t matter how much of a delay we would have to wait for as long as we could get it and the Dr. could tell us the results.
Well here is the results that we were waiting for and all of you also. The Dr. came in and said that the Endoscope that Dennis had last week was great no tumor was found in either place in the esophagus or by the stomach, but we didn’t know about the biopsies well they came back totally normal no cancer was found. YEA!!!!!!!
Then he said that Dennis’s PET Scan today showed NO I said NO I got to say it one more time NO Cancer has been found in Dennis. YEA!!!!!!!!!!!
He has some inflammation still there but the Dr. said that is normal from the Chemo and Radiation.
Treatment in the future: The Dr. said Dennis does not have to have any surgeries, no more radiation and no chemo. We had asked the Dr. if he would have to have chemo for X amount of time afterwards because we know some people that had cancer and when they got to the point that they had no cancer they still had chemo for X amount of time. The Dr. said that not with the type of cancer that Dennis had. Yea I said HAD!! So he doesn’t have to do anything, except get a little stronger and keep kickin butt.
We ask if this means Dennis is Cancer free and the Dr. said that they don’t say a patient is cancer free for 5 years of being cancer free then you can claim that title. Now he is in remission with NO cancer showing.
He has to do a PET Scan in 3 months and then again every 3 months as long as he stays cancer Free then as time goes on he will go to 6 months and then yearly on getting the PET Scan.
Even though we all heard it but Dennis still is having a hard time feeling that he can say I am Cancer FREE! I can understand his feeling knowing what he has been through it just hasn’t hit him yet.
When we got out to the car in the parking garage I opened the sun roof to our car and Dennis and I shouted as loud as we could Thank you Lord!!! I do believe in miracles and I feel with all of the prayers that God heard about Dennis and God knowing his life still needed to be here on Earth, God healed Dennis and answered everyone of your prayers and the Cunningham families prayers.
So now you ask what about the Blog well don’t quit looking at it we will still update it, let you know how he is doing and look at the new pictures coming up on what Dennis looks like with a full head of hair again lol.
Dennis wanted one thing after he went to the Dr. today and that is he wanted to go to Chedders which for the people who don’t have a Chedders it is a restaurant. Dennis wanted his Baby Back Ribs and so guess where Dennis went and what he got. Your right! Here comes the ribs!!
The Cunningham family wants to thank each of you for all the support and prayers that each of you have shown us.
Keep looking at the Blog for updates. God Bless each of you.
