We are already into our fifth month in the treatment plan for Sharon. In the midst of the darkest times it seemed that every day passed so slowly. Now, as we look back, it has gone by so quickly and Sharon has been through so much. She has just gotten home from work a few minutes ago. She happened to see her oncologist at the hospital today. Her cancer count is down to 20! 0 - 20 is in the normal range. So she has pretty much beaten this cancer! We will be anxious to see what report comes from the PET scan next week. Pray with us that the cancer is completely gone.
The effects of the drugs that Sharon continues to take are mostly that they cause extreme leg pain. Of course, her being on her feet for 12 hours at work aggravates the situation. The doctor has changed her medication from Arimidex to Tamoxofin. We are very hopeful that the leg pain will decrease soon. She is glad to be back to work.
Melissa and David's wedding plans are coming along nicely. It is hard to believe that it is one month away. We are excited for them and looking forward to seeing family and friends from near and far. Please keep us all in your prayers. There is still much to do and many decisions to make. God bless you all.

That's great on the cancer range being only 20... Great wonderful prayers being answered. Only one month till the wedding. Time sure does fly by! I know that today is my brother Jan's last chemo treatment. That time has flown also. Emily & I are preparing to head to Sloan in NYC for Aug. 19th appointments. We leave on the 18th and spend the night at the Ronald House in Manhattan. We enjoy visiting with all the staff that we have come to know and love. Take Care and we continue to pray for the Jewett's.
