Celebrate with Me!

I just received this update on a friend of ours through the Caringbridge web site:

"This has been a long journey so far. The good news is that Dean's therapy is complete. He is now to think of himself as a cancer survivor."

Good news update

Our friend that was hospitalized last week with lymphoma is stage 2, which is much better than what they thought it might be, and it's NOT in his bone marrow or spinal fluid, which was another concern.  This also means less chemotherapy than they originally thought.  

My cousin's friend is also doing better.  She is sitting up and breathing a lot better.  They are still keeping an eye on her in the hospital, but things are looking up.
