The other "R" word

A brief glossary...

REMISSION: A decrease in or disappearance of signs and symptoms of cancer.

RELIEVED: The patient and family who hears this word after scans are complete!

THANKFUL: How Tom and Marilyn feel to be headed back to Regina with this good news!

OVERWHELMED: Why Marilyn is not making a more complete post today. See also: VERKLEMPT.

The other R Word? The one that no cancer patient ever wants to hear? I am currently in the process of lobbying to have that R word removed from the dictionary.

Love to all,
Thomas' Mom
