"Be Brave and Steadfast..."

After 9 months of oral chemo...yet another CT scan ( not the xpensive PET scan because that was just 3 months ago). I can't say I am totally calm and collected when waiting for test results. I look at Ernie and he is a picture of confidence, thank the LORD for a very positive-minded spouse who pulls me up all the time! And he is the patient!

The results came in via e-health (the latest online results file of St Lukes). Holding my breath, my eyes quickly scan the document before me, looking for key words. Ernie is happily doing his gardening downstairs.

"slight regression of the lung lessions"...."stable bone lession...no fracture seen"....."normal liver"...."no new lessions seen...". I feel warmth taking over my cold fingers typing the computer key board. I am cradled by a loving healing GOD...praise HIS almighty name!!!

In cancer vocabulary the words "stable" and "regression" and "no spread"  are words equal to jubilation!!!

What we do next will be revealed at our next visit to Dr Charity in the next few days. She will assess and interpret these results.

Sharing a beautiful bible passage :

             "Be brave and steadfast; have no fear or dread of them, for it is the Lord your God,
               who marches with you, He will never fail you or foresake you."
               Deuteronomy 31 : 6
