          That is wonderful! You are very blessed indeed.  Do you mind me asking what kind of treatments have you had?

          Congratulations!

                I noticed in your profile that you had a lymph drainage machine. Do you still use that, and how do you like it? I have lymphedema in my leg dure to surgeries, and have considered the machine. I wear compression garment all the while when up.
