“The Hard Places We Are In Are Not Distractions. We Are Not Being Side-Tracked. This IS HIS Way. ‘Find Me When You Seek With ALL Your Heart, Not JUST The Parts of Your Heart Crying For Ease, I WILL Be Found By YOU – Jeremiah 29:12-13’” – Exert from “What Happens When Women Walk in Faith by Lysa TerKeurst
Hi Everyone!
I know this week has been with what seems like emails one after another, but this week we have been blessed with great reports over and over!! I wanted to ensure that I include every meeting with Mike’s Clinical Team for each area that the Cancer is affecting.
Today Dr. Tsao walked in with a HUGE smile on her face and said after reviewing the PET scan she was “Excited” to report the progress of Mike’s treatment! With all areas that the treatment is fighting, ALL AREAS are moving forward with SHRINKING, SHIRINKING and MORE SHIRNKING! The cancer that spread to his bones is reacting VERY well to the chemo and his bone mass is growing back daily! All other areas continue to be getting smaller and no new spots have developed!! I can only quote what the report reads, but it says there is “A Trend in downwards of intensities including through the chest area and others.” The report of course has a lot of other verbage that I will be GOOGLING later – but I feel confident with Dr. Tsao’s HUGE Smile and Pearly Whites Gleaming today along with her NP Vikki, that the report is a VERY GOOD ONE!! It was a touching visit today!! It is Aunt Cissy’s last day here in Houston, and she was able to be in the room with us all and share the smiles and hugs that were overflowing from each of us!
We look back and it not even being a complete 4 Months since Mike has started treatment and less than 6 months since his surgery and all combined, he is truly continuing to beat ALL odds!! GOD is surely continuing to shine upon us daily and with our continued faith and trust in him, he continues to bless us beyond belief! Wow – what a concept, huh? GOD does not ask much from us, but when he does ask, I shall do and he WILL provide as he is doing for us now and know he will follow us through this journey till Mike is cured and years beyond!
In closing as always, Mike and I along with our Family thank you so very much for ALL of you Prayer Warriors from EVERYwhere that are have joined us on this journey and continue to join daily – For YOU continue to lift us UP. YOU instill us with Strength to take on our day. YOU provide words that hold such power and spirit that continue to Strengthen our Hearts, Minds and Souls. It is ALL of YOU that we continue to keep in our prayers, just as you do us – It is YOU we continue to Thank GOD for!
Mike receives chemo today, so please continue to pray for minimal side effects, a healthy appetite and continued energy to get out of bed as he has been doing daily and build, build, build that strength!
Till next time (and hopefully the emails won’t be so bombarding moving forward ;) haha!
XOXO
