Good Morning:
Well as I promised here is the update concerning Cindy's follow-up appointment with the Surgeon.
The Surgeon was very pleased with how the surgery went and the results that came back from the pathological report. He told us that the margins around both of the tumours were clear. He also told us that after testing 24 lymph nodes that only two of them were infected. He also said that the chemo had definitely attacked the cancer. So the appointment was a good one. The news appears to be good and for that we are very thankful.
After the appointment we decided to do a little Christmas shopping. So off we went to busy stores, looking for the perfect gifts for our family members. This is not always the most joyous thing to do, but since it was Cindy's first day out of the house in two weeks it was great. We of course didn't find any gifts.......
Then last night we attended the Christmas play at our children's school. The play was "The Nutcracker". What a joy it was to watch all the children singing, acting and having a good time. The one downside to the evening was that Nicole slipped in the hallway and cut her bottom lip. This happened right before the play had to start. However Mom and Dad were very proud because even though she was in pain she still took part in the performance.
So yesterday was a busy day, but it was also a good day.
Hope each of you have a great day. Maybe Cindy will write the next blog update.

YES!! I'm giving thanks for a good report from the surgeon. Part of me (that lacks any sort of faith) kept thinking...what if? But I know our God is faithful!
Why am I not surprised you didn't buy anything?
Love you all!

Dear Steve and Cindy. Hooray for the good news so far. Cling tight to God and expect more of this positive chatter. Yea for the chemo attacking the dirty rotten invading cancer cells. I'm doing my happy dance for your Cindy, albeit still a little lame right now. Blessings and Joy to you all. We had a Christmas drama presentation at church today and I lost it (blubbering) part way through. I thought of our days at the cancer clinic and how wholly dependent we are on God. The message of the play was about kneeling before God. I was reminded repeatedly with the many different characters who appeared on stage, about the imperativeness (my word) of our relationship with our heavenly Father!
Have a wonderful Christmas and hug those gorgeous little girls of yours tightly. Keep us posted about the latest. Joy and Love to the Tammings from the Belec's
