I apologize for not getting this out sooner. On Friday, you may have felt some excitement in the air and heard some cheering. I had a scan done on Thursday and the doctor called in with the results on Friday. In the words of the scan report, the tumors in my left lung have "significantly reduced" - HOORAY!!!
Having had many scans "significant" is a significant word. It appears that the chemotherapy is working. In addition to the reduced tumors, no new sites showed up and all the old sites looked quiet. We have high hopes for the effectiveness of the remaining chemotherapy.
We do not know what the future holds, but we keep pressing forward with an eye of faith. Our life is not ours; we are but instruments in the hands of God in moving his work forward and bring salvation to his children. He will watch over us, take care of us, and give us the strength to move forward as we show our trust in Him.
I pray that I am using my time on earth to the best of my ability. There are so many distractions to keep us from doing was is most important. I am so thankful that Heavenly Father is a merciful God, who helps us in our weakness and sees us as we can become.
Thank you again for all your prayers, love, and support. We are forever in awe at the tender mercies and out pouring of love that we have received. We pray for you and we know you pray for us.
