Another good report for Heather!
4 Nov 2009 by Wendi Lewis under News, People
In the world of mesothelioma, we are so often surrounded by bad news, it is especially exciting to hear something good. Today I can share some of the BEST news. Those of you familiar with this site are familiar with Heather Von St. James, whose story we featured on this site. After being diagnosed with mesothelioma, Heather chose to have an extrapleural pneumonectomy, in which the affected lung, as well as part of her diaphragm and a rib were removed. Heather reports that her latest scans in Boston have come out clean and clear!
She was so excited, she posted the above photo on her Facebook page, and also allowed us to share it with you here, to let all her friends and fans see how well she is. Also, this scan provides a glimpse of what a body looks like after the extrapleural pneumonectomy, with only one lung. This is from her CT scan, done Nov. 3, 2009.
In the photo below, you can tell from her face and the enthusiastic “thumbs up” that she’s relieved and happy with these latest results.
We are ecstatic to see that Heather continues to be cancer free, healthy and strong! We love you, Heather, and pray for your continued good health!
