Well, not exactly.
Dr. M explains it this way: Some people think that remission means cure, but that's not the case. In Steve's current case, there is "no evidence of live tumor." Still, the cells left behind "have the potential to grow again but no one knows when that will be."
I certainly don't want to diminish our glorious news -- we have much to celebrate! I do want to offer a realistic picture. Among our many prayers now is that "when that will be" will be never.
I'm still working on editing the hundreds of Disneyland photos. Here is one from our last morning. Steve said his face hurt from smiling so much the day before. How great is that?!

NEVER sounds good to me! Congrats Steve! If your face has to hurt, what better way than from smiling. I love that.

This wonderful!!
I have every confidence that God will finish his good work in you.
I see spot, getting smaller all the time, I see spot disappearing!
Good bye spot, good bye!!
We look forward to Steve feeling better and rejoining us in choir.
Hope to see you all soon,

PS- You all have learned how, to not just wait out the storm, but instead dance in the rain!!
Thank you for sharing this time in your lives and being an inspiration.

I know your journey isn't over but what a ray of sunshine from some pretty cloudy days. Our prayers are never ceasing for continued news like this and for many days of smiling till your face hurts!
much love, Debbie
Tyra, admire and appreciate your sensible approach to life and challenging situations.
I can only hope and pray like all others that those rogue cells stay asleep and don't raise their ugly head.
Keep smiling Steve, it really suits you.
Happy Father's Day, enjoy with Katie and Cooper.
