Christmas Update

It has now been a little over two months since I was first diagnosed with Lung Cancer, Stage IV, which had spread throughout my body including my brain.  At that time I quickly became bedridden and on oxygen 24/7.  
 
On December 21, 2015, I had a follow up CT scan and MRI at Huntsman Cancer Institute.   Just four days before Christmas I have received my Christmas miracle.  The chief oncologist specializing in Lung Cancer informed me that they had witnessed a "Christmas Miracle" in the dramatic night and day reduction of my cancer.   It is truly a miracle.  Where there is great love and faith there are always miracles!
 
I still am fighting the good fight for the rest of the cancer to be defeated.  I know that I will have a full recovery as the healing continues. You would never know today that I had any illness.  If I didn’t have such wobbly ankles (due to four broken legs from snow skiing) I would sign up to run a marathon.  Let’s here it for “Dancing in the Rain.”  I believe in an all-powerful and loving God of miracles!

  1. Dana Sue,
    I just heard about this terrible challenge you've got. I've been down that cancer road and it like what Elder Holland called a "psychic blow." It just reorders your life in an instant when you get that diagnosis. I love your attitude and KNOW it will be what saves you. All my love, prayers and I'll watch for the next rainstorm and see about that dancing. Give my love to Brent too.
