Your Prayers Are Working!!

We all know that Ginny-Mom is a strong woman, but she is proving it to us all once again. The chemo is working and it's working even better than the doctors expected. Specifically, the primary tumor has shrunk to 1/3 of its original size. My dad sketched out the dimensions so we could have a visual aid. We decided that it went from a roma tomato to an olive, kalamata perhaps. What great news! In addition, the CT scan showed the cancer is diminishing from other areas (i.e. lymph nodes, pleura/lung lining) and has not spread to any new areas. Hip Hip Hooray!

Needless to say, the doctors (and Ginny-Mom) have decided to stick with this chemo treatment plan for the coming months. We are reminded that there is still a tough battle ahead, but the exceptional progress brings much hope and motivation.

After the appointment and chemo yesterday, Ginny-Mom returned home with relief and a renewed energy. She feels so grateful and attributes her progress to the prayer, love, and support surrounding her daily. She told me she feels blessed to have so many people cheering her on and she can actually feel your prayers working. So please, please, please keep them coming. There is great strength in numbers!

Thank you for helping my mom fight this battle.
Cheer! Cheer! Cheer!--Kristin

GREAT NEWS!!!

What a day!

Well, ask and ye shall receive! Never ever forget that!

We expected to wait a long time before hearing about today's test results, but Mom just got word that her condition is improving and that the chemo treatments are working!!! It really is such an enormous gift and an overwhelming blessing. This news is so good and we have God's grace and all of you to thank for your prayers!

Thank you for sharing in this journey. Thank you for your caring thoughts. Thank you so much for believing!

Of course, there are more meetings with doctors and more treatments to undergo and we'll keep you posted on progress. But to hear that it's working is the best feeling in the world!

Love to ALL and thank you so very much!
