  1. Pardon me for the off-topic post, but I wanted to share some wonderful news. Those of you that have "known" me for a while know that my sister was diagnosed with cancer about 5 years ago. Back in October it was discovered that she had metastatic bone cancer, and her oncologist gave her 9-12 months to live.
    This week she got the results back from her bone and CT scans from last week...and they found nothing. Nada. Zip. Not a trace of cancer is in her body. I'm not screaming remission, but I am screaming Amen. The power of prayer is a marvelous thing.

    Just wanted to share. Happy Easter everyone.

    God is Good! I know this because my husband is a cancer survivor as well, 11+ years. Guess that's why I'm interested in oncology.
    I share in your joy.
