Family update

This week has been pretty busy. Last Wednesday (12/3), Suzette was supposed to get her 1st post chemo treatment PET scan. This was canceled due to the solution they pump into her was not available for some reason.

Monday night we enjoyed a Kurt Bestor Christmas: A Celebration of Life concert at UVU. This concert was dedicated to all of the cancer survivors. At the beginning of the program they showed a video presentation of cancer survivors and their stories. This brought back a flood of memories and emotions. It was an enjoyable evening and it was good to have our boys join us as well.

Anyway, her PET was rescheduled for yesterday. Her appointment was at 1:00, so she had to fast all morning. She came through the procedure with flying colors and was rewarded by her loving husband with dinner at Cafe Rio. She is such a trooper and has never complained. She is a great example! Her appointment with her Oncologist to give us the results of the PET was today. Dr. Clark said that the PET was perfect. Suzette is in remission! We celebrated by attending the temple and her loving husband treated her to lunch at Olive Garden.

Suzette will continue to undergo PET scans every 6 months with CBCs (complete blood counts) on the 3 month mark in between the PET scans. We are so excited about this news!!! We have been so blessed in so many ways and are so grateful for all of the love and support shown in our behalf.
