A GOOD REPORT
Karon and I went to the oncologist yesterday (as I mentioned we would in my last entry!) It was a good report. The cancer (tumor) count had been 145; then it went to 106 and yesterday it was 71! That’s a praise! God is using the chemo drug to kill off the bone cancer.
There are drastic side effects, which I have mentioned in a previous entry. The most difficult one is the destruction of tissue and nerve endings in the hands and feet. Karon’s hands were not healed enough to allow her to continue the chemotherapy treatment. So she gets to wait another week. She was happy to be able to wait! The hope is that the hands will heal enough for her to continue the treatment next week.
But the good news is that the cancer is “on the run”. Even better news is that we can praise God and use this as a testimony to some who need to know that God does hear and answer prayer. It re-affirms the faith of all of us who pray not only for this but also for many other things. Many of you reading this know that I pray daily for many of you. I will continue. God DOES hear and answer. It is not always the way we expect and sometime not the way we want. But He is in control of our lives. I’m happy about that.
Thanks to all of you reading this who so faithfully pray for us. It is not in vain!
