the doctor found no visible additional cancer in his body, so that confirmation is exactly what we wanted to here. chemo is necessary if it's in his lymph nodes (find out thursday). . . then that could mean there are other nasty cancer cells floating around his body, but chemo would take care of that. otherwise, chemo may be a good idea just to make sure we conquer this. the doctor said, for a 33 year old man, why not do chemo just in case, cause his youthful body can take it!
one thing at a time though, i have to keep reminding myself. we have only just begun but the worst part is definitely over! i feel so blessed-i am 100% sure all your love and energy has contributed to us getting through this.

Great news ! I'm with you both and will be constantly sending my love, light, strength, and healing meditations your way...along with some occasional wacky energy. Love you Andy....see you soon...jack mento
All of this brings a tears to my eyes as I've finally had a chance to actually read what has been going on....I did send good energy between 12:00 and 3:00 today but I couldn't be happier with what you have communicated. It all sounds like good news and my new focus will be towards Thursday.
Stay in touch - there are a lot of people thinking of you both!

sweet sweet dreams tonight Andy and Mere and all my dear dear gathered family. I am overjoyed with the news, wishing SO I could be there to spread around some Keyser/Thompson hugs, and tell you all how much I love you, how incredibly in awe I am of Andy, and how we are all sending SO many spirit sprinkles from the Maine woods tonight. Let's only have top ten days :o). And when it's too chilly, I'll just hop into my couch dress. Still praying, and waiting for more good news on Thursday/Friday. Y'all try to kick back a bit tonight - Andy is beginning his journey of healing and soon will be feeling SO strong and eating firecracker hot dogs in no time. XOXOXO from Maine.
I am so thankful you guys have this blog. We've been thinking of you guys and praying all day for the 2 of you. So So So happy to hear things went so good! We miss you both. And I hate that it took cancer for us to realize that we've been way out of touch! Never again! And what I'm getting ready to say will hurt, but if Andy can fight cancer then I can do this for him. Ok, here goes... "Go Dawgs!" Ouch, that hurt.
Love Y'all. Keep sharing. Our prayers surround you and Andy!
way to go mere! andy is in good shape in your hands. glad to hear the positive news. thanks for blogging. by the way, jess just went into labor! were heading to the hospital very soon. josh

I wanted to let you know that my 90 year old grandmother has Andy at the top of your prayer group list, so Andy has like 100, 90 year old women praying for him round the clock, no joke!!! I love you both so much~

More love from Georgia. Mere, it is amazing how you radiate through the text of this blog. You are a bright, shining light. I believe you alone could heal Andy through your love and commitment to him. But, just in case, we are all behind him as well. It sounds like the surgery could not have gone better. How exciting. Onward to Thursday. I am always thinking of ya'll and sending good thoughts your way. Give Andy a big hug!

Ergh...a client, you say. But I wanted to let you know all of us in Noodleland are thinking of you and hoping for a speedy recovery so you can start doodlin' again soon.
May the long time sun shine upon you, all love surround you, and the pure light within you guide you all the way on.
Peace to you and your true sweetheart,

Such good news! I'm so glad that the surgery went well. Meredith thanks for keeping us posted.
Everyone at Sukle kept the blog up yesterday waiting for news. And we all were so thankful when we read your post. We'll think more good thoughts for when the results come back tomorrow.
We already miss you around the office Andy! Can't wait till your back. Take care and keep us posted. - Michon
So I wake up this morning to FINALLY check out the blog (which I have never had experience with) and as soon as Patrick brings up the site, I say...wholly s*%t! Andy made a website before he went into surgery! And then Patrick gives me "you so crazy but I love you anyway look" before taking off for work...then I sit down and start reading. Mere- you know I'm not much of a crier but I can't even tell you how strongly, seeing all that you and all your friends wrote has impacted me. You guys rock! Oh, and nice job on the website Andy :)
-Lori
Andy - sending you much love, west coast energy and all the prayers you can handle. xoxo alison & tito
Big sigh. Way to go my man! Much love to you both. From Heather, Emma and I we love you two.
Darrin
