Good News!

I had very good results from the MRI I had last week Tuesday.  The words on the final report are “there has been response to chemotherapy.  Almost all of the enhancement (I think that means tumor) is no longer identified.”  When I asked Dr. Vander Woude what the measurement of the tumor is, she said it’s so small they didn’t measure it.  Isn’t that great news?  In May I had a 2×4 cm tumor and now it’s so small they didn’t even measure it.  Amazing.  Thank God!  This is because of our great God.   

Life is getting better.  Much better than what it was this past summer.  The side effects from the chemo that seem to linger are numbness and tingling in my feet and fatigue.  The fatigue is the most bothersome, but I’m still having a lot of fun.  Last Friday we went to Cranes in Fennville, Saturday was the Race for a Cure and Sunday I went to church (no more couch church!). 

Thank you to everyone for your continued cards, encouragement, generosity, love and support.  Not just for me and my family, but our parents and friends.  We love you all.

They are not assisting me with replacing the images they deleted, so I will be adding the images back as time allows. Thank you for your understanding.
