In Conclusion....

The report of the PET scan reads as follows:
"Considerable reduction in size when compared to the previous imaging, PET-CT findings negative for viable tumour."

I hope that through this blog in the last few months; this chapter in my life has and will continue to give strength and encourage those who feel up against a wall. I would have never made it without so many who held Anne, Koby and me in prayer. God has shown me in so many ways, nearly every day that he looks after the smallest of things.
Thankyou Friends, family and all those around the world who held me up before God in prayer and in their thoughts.
God has given me a second chance at life and I am sure he will do the same for all who find it in them to trust him completely.

This will be my last entry in this Blog. Continue to uphold us in prayer. God bless and goodbye!

In his time, he makes all things beautiful.
Lord please show me everyday as You teach me your way
That You do just what You say, In Your time.

PS- my e-mail ID, will still be active in the future, please get in touch if anyone reading needs anything I can help out with.

Hey Tarun...please don't stop posting. I've been an anonymous reader and you and your family have become a part of my life. What always motivates me the most is the spirit that the family, you the most, have and my day isn't complete without paying a virtual visit to your home and family. For whatever my word is worth, please don't stop posting. You have and will always be a part of my prayers. - Zoya

Tarun,

Let me join the others who have already posted comments, in thanking you for the marvelous gift you've given us, in keeping this blog over these many months. It's been a great strength to me, personally, to read your reflections on the NHL experience, as I have faced similar challenges several months behind you.

Now, both of us have had "clean" PET Scans - praise the Lord!

May you enjoy the wonderful new possiiblities ahead of you, my friend, as you raise your family, practice medicine, and seek to answer God's call in your life!

I hope that someday, we will meet in person - I don't know where or how. Go with God.

Carl

Have been following ur blog for a long time now. Dont stop blogging. Even if it's only once in awhile. Even if it's only about arbitrary things. Coz ur blog went beyond jus being a cancer survivor. It felt special to be a part of someone's life like urs...however ordinary it might have seemed at times. However even if u are stopping blogging, then this is to say thanku for sharing all ur experiences. It has been wonderful. Take care or urself.

Hey Tarun,
I read your blog for the first time on 24/06/06 and was waiting for this post. I praise and thank God for the healing as well as the peace and strength he has blessed you and your entire family with. I think your life is a wonderful testimony that will strengthen the faith of many especially in difficult times.

Pray ! -
When darkness lowers and tempest gathers
God still reigns on yonder throne of light
In the Name He holdeth - aye, so dear,
He will bear for thee His arm of might ! - Anonymous

Take care and god bless,

May the road rise up to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
And the rains fall soft upon your fields,
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
-- Old Irish verse
Thank you for the grace and generosity with which you made so many of us part of your life. God bless, and lots of luck to you and your loved ones.

"I have been using Advanced Gain Pro for 3 months now and I must say I'm simply amazed. I really didn't think the product would have this many benefits. I really only purchased the pills to help the reliability of my erections. But to my surprise every aspect of my penis and sex life has improved. I have larger, harder erections easily, and I can really satisfy my girlfriend fully now."
