Cancer FREE!!!

It's true... My dad is OFFICIALLY cancer free! :) He was diagnosed with Squamous-cell carcinoma of the tongue (or something really close to that) in March of this year and it has been a LONG 5 months. After going through chemo and radiation treatments for a few months and having to wait to find out if the treatments worked, he finally had his big appointment today and the scans all show that the cancer is GONE! Honestly, one of the best days ever!

I am so grateful to all of you who have had my family in your thoughts and prayers over the past few months. His name has been placed on temple prayer rolls, he has been prayed for by so many people, and got a priesthood blessing at the beginning of all of the chaos that has been the last few months. Our prayers have been answered and it is the most incredible feeling. I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father for helping my dad get through this horrible disease! I know that my dad could not have done this on his own and has had the Lord with him through every step of his recovery. I am grateful for the power of priesthood blessings and for the opportunity that Andrew had to give one to my dad, I believe with all of my heart that it helped him get through this. My family has been truly blessed and we are grateful to all of you who have prayed for us!

Although my dad has reached a happy point in his treatments, there are still so many out there that I know with cancer. We continue to pray for their health and I can only hope that one day someone will find the cure for this disease!

My head is all over the place right now so I hope this post made at least a little sense! I promise I will post about the many things that we have been doing since our last post once life slows down for a second! :)

I hope you all have a fantastic day.... We sure are!! :)
