From Brenda Ison Calhoun: "My cancer is currently in remission! It was a long, long nine months~~only three near-death experiences! I am back to work and back to life! We enjoy our 8 month-old-grandson so much. Now I know the meaning of that phrase, 'If I had known grandchildren were so much fun, I would have had them first!'

"I had an enormous amount of support from so many people, including many of my classmates I had not heard from in such a long time. Thank you all so very much! I had an incredible medical team but most importantly, I had a LOT of prayers~~and I know one could not do their job without the other!
