Happy Valentine's Day 2012






Happy Valentine's Day.  Mary Jo is doing well today and her recent review by her oncologist showed no signs of cancer.  Breast cancer patients are screened very closely with a comprehensive exam every 3 months for the first two years after a patients last chemo and radiation treatments.  Dr Gall did a blood panel review, chest x-ray and complete physical exam as part of Mary Jo's last "every three month" review.  Mary Jo has passed this major milestone in her treatment and now transitions to getting her oncology exams every six months until she reaches the next big milestone which is five years post treatment.  Mary Jo is now two years cancer free.  She is back to flying at Delta and feeling good.  Finally gone is that overwhelming feeling of being totally exhausted and tired that is typical of most patients that enduer rounds of chemotherapy and radiation therapy.  Today is a day to celebrate.  Happy Valentine's Day Mary Jo.
