Last February Marcia Cross' husband, Tom Mahoney looked gaunt and frail but fast forward one year and the cancer striken stock broker looks back to health again.

Showing the side effects from his gruelling chemotherapy treatments Mahoney lost significant amounts of weight, as well as his hair, but thankfully he's gained both back.

And it's not just Mahoney that's thriving, the couple's 3-year-old twin daughters, Eden and Savannagh are growing into quite the little ladies!

The happy family were snapped Thursday as Marcia and Tom picked their daughters up from school in Santa Monica, California.

Despite the Desperate Housewives star's hectic filming schedule she still makes the time to be a hands on mum and doting wife.

On January 20th 2009 it was announced that Mahoney had been diagnosed with cancer, but by the look of things he seems to be winning the battle appearing the picture of health nowadays.

The 48-year-old actress, who plays Bree Hodge in Desperate Housewives, married Mahoney in June 2006 after dating for just six months.

Marcia has suffered her share of tragedy in her life -her long-term partner, actor Richard Jordan, died of a brain tumor in 1993.

Talking about his tragic death several years ago, Marcia said : "I thought life was passing me by and I was really just devastated about it. So the fact that my life sort of turned in the last two years is just a miracle to me."

Looks like that miracle is going to continue for many more years!
