As Angela's first round of Chemo and radiation comes to an end, she celebrates with a great deal of joy and relief. As of now, there are NO future plans for any type of radiation treatment. Her next appointment at Duke is scheduled for January 6th & 7th. It appears that she will begin her next round of chemo after her visit to Duke. Dr. Stagg (her oncologist) did mention that there is a drug she could possibly take between the scheduled rounds of chemo so I expect that she will find out more on that in the next week or so.
I did talk to her this morning and she stated that the Christmas tree is up and the kids are extremely excited. They cannot wait for Santa to come!!!! Angela is excited that she will be "treatment free" during the Christmas Season.
Her physical therapy has been going very well. She is no longer using the 4-prong walking cane ~ she is using a regular single "leg" cane. She is doing a great job in regards to getting back "on her feet". It is amazing how far she has come in such a short time. Some days, she has to be reminded how far she has come but with that being said, she is VERY thankful.
She wants to again send thanks to everyone for their words of encouragement, prayers, flowers, gifts and delicious meals. The entire family is blessed to have all of you in their lives. They have gotten where they are now because of all of you. So, thanks to everyone for beings such an important part of this journey.
OH!!!! One more thing from Angela...............GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!!!

Angela,
I think tomorrow should be a day of celebration for you. A day to celebrate your strength and perseverance. But mostly a day to celebrate your faith and unbelievable spirit. Every day I am lifting you up in prayer.
Love,
Missy Martin

All praise and Thanksgiving to our God who never abandoned you!!!
Here is something to make you smile...(not to mention that the end of your treatment makes you smile)
Hallelujah and Amen
A man bought a donkey from a preacher. The preacher told the man that this donkey had been trained in a very unique way, (being the donkey of a preacher). The only way to make the donkey go, is to say,
"Hallelujah!"
And the only way to make the donkey stop, is to say, "Amen!"
The man was pleased with his purchase and immediately got on the animal to try out the preacher's instructions.
"Hallelujah!" shouted the man. The donkey began to trot. "Amen!" shouted the man. The donkey stopped immediately.
"This is great!" said the man. With a "Hallelujah", he rode off very proud of his new purchase.
The man traveled for a long time through some mountains. Soon he was heading towards a cliff. He could not remember the word to make the donkey stop.
"Stop," said the man. "Halt!" he cried. The donkey just kept going.
"Oh, no...
'Bible...Church!...Please Stop!!," shouted the man. The donkey just began to trot faster. He was getting closer and closer to the cliff edge.
Finally, in desperation, the man said a prayer...
"Please, dear Lord. Please make this donkey stop before I go off the end of this mountain, In Jesus name, AMEN."
The donkey came to an abrupt stop just one step from the edge of the cliff.
"HALLELUJAH!", shouted the man
Love and Celebrating your VICTORY!!!
Lowry
