4.6.09 It's Great to be CANCER FREE!!!


Today was the 6th and final cancer treatment for our Warrior-in-Chief. And, the results are in - and confimed by the CA-125 Cancer Marker test:


Wanda is CANCER FREE!


It has been a long, long road since those days in July when something just wasn't right...to the mastectomy in October and the 8 1/2 hour long ovarian surgery in November. All along the way, you all have stood with Wanda in your prayers and your thoughts. We couldn't be more appreciative, humbled or grateful for the many things you have done for Wanda and for the family!


Take a moment and celebrate this miracle in all of our lives. Take a moment to reflect on how wonderful life is. And, take a moment to thank God for this and the other many blessings we receive!


This isn't the end....but the beginning. We will shift this blog to telling you stories of what Wanda the survivor - not the patient- is doing. Of course, there will be some Dr. visits to report on....but we hope to tell some fun stories too!


So, Wanda, your body is void of cancer and you have finished 6 rounds of chemo..what are you gonna do now? ANYTHING SHE WANTS!!!! (and, yes, Disneyland is May 26...lol)

May the sun bring you new energy by day,

May the moon softly restore you by night,

May the rain wash away your worries,

May the breeze blow new strength into your being.

May you walk through the world and know its beauty all the days of your life.

-- Apache Blessing

We love you...Bill and Donna

Happy Easter Rae, Rich and crew! Us Caldwells got together up in Placerville today. It was a busy event with the additions of Adam's girlfriend and cousin Sarah this year. We celebrated both of their birthdays as well. As wonderful as it was, we sure did miss all of you! Easters are even better with little hands and eyes searching for hidden eggs :) Love you all!

Wanda;

Thank GOD for all his blessings and that he has touched you with his love and grace.

You have been in my prayers since I first heard of your illness and at all my prayer studies, we have asked GOD to heal you. Stay well and Be as you always are - a blessed person.
