Good News

I am praising God today and thanking everyone for their prayers. The results of the PET scan last week were very encouraging. The scan in October revealed that cancer had spread and the scan from last week showed a marked decrease in number and size of tumors. Some are so small they cannot be seen on a scan (pea-sized cannot be seen). My oncologist believes this chemo routine is working. I know it is chemo - AND the power of prayer that created the miracle. Thank you, Lord, for hearing those prayers!
I did get chemo again today and will again next week. I see the oncologist January 29th to determine the protocol and how many more rounds before the next scan.
I am feeling very good - especially after this news, but I did have very positive thoughts regarding this scan and was less anxious to hear results. I had the peace that passes all understanding.
I will return to Topeka this week for faculty meetings at Washburn. Classes begin next week.
I am enjoying a very fun distraction - wedding planning. My son, Grant, is engaged and will marry Tosha on March 6 in Girard. Tosha will be a wonderful addition to our family and we lover her very much. I am making her veil and the flower girl dress. I am thoroughly enjoying all this!
But let all those rejoice who put their trust in You; let them ever shout for joy, because You defend them; let those also who love Your name be joyful in You. Psalm 5:11
Blessings to you!
Love to you -
Ellen
