CT Scan Results

Thank you all for your prayers regarding today's results.  Here is the summary and ways that we can keep praying.   God is still working and we have much to give thanks for today. 

• The tumor has not progressed since his last CT scan.
• The tumor has also not shrunk; his disease is "stable" at this point.
• The ascites he has experienced may not be related completely to the cancer.  It may be a side effect of the chemotherapy.  If the fluid accumulation occurs again (on schedule) after his next treatment we can be more confident that the ascites is a result of the chemo and not active cancer.
• The tumor had grown slightly after his first treatment, is stable and not growing after two.  The hope is that now it will decrease.  This is our prayer.
• Marc will have two more treatments of Taxol.  In six weeks he will have another scan to see if the tumor is shrinking.
• He has another paracentesis scheduled for next Tuesday to alleviate the fluid that is expected to develop in his abdomen as a result of the chemo.

While we were hoping for signs that the tumor was in definite decline, we are at peace with today's results.  It appears that this treatment is having some effect on the tumor and we are thankful for that!  We continue to pray for Marc's complete healing.   Thank you to all that have joined us in that prayer!  We look forward to sharing a miracle.

If you haven't checked out the last blog post, please do. We want to recognize and honor those that sacrificed their weekend for us.   We want everyone to know how much we appreciate all of you that helped us out with our property.  We will be forever touched by the love you all showed us!

With love and gratitude.....
