Scan Results

Yesterday afternoon we met with my oncologist to discuss the most recent CAT Scan results. The results were disappointing. As you know, I have 8 tumors. The primary pancreas tumor was slightly enlarged. Six of my liver tumors were unchanged. The remaining liver tumor had grown about 40%. The doctor determined that my current treatment with Tarceva & Avastin was not working, and has decided to add a third drug called Gemzar. We will try this combination of drugs for a couple of months and do another scan. Gemzar was the initial drug that I took and makes me very fatigued and causes my blood cell counts to drop dangerously low. Be much in prayer for me as we approach cold & flu season that my weakened immune system will not be susceptible to infection.

Keep in mind, lest you tend to be discouraged at the news, that my doctors have told me from the beginning that my cancer cannot be cured by medicine. My only hope has been, is, and will continue to be a DIVINE HEALING from the Hands of The Great Physician. So have I lost my hope? NO WAY! I am walking on My Journey To A Miracle and believing that God will heal me no matter what the medical evidence suggests! He is my Strength, Strong Tower, Healer & Deliverer. Until HE says it is over, I am not giving up hope for a miraculous healing!

Pray for Vicky and Candi today. They are saddened, but also possess the same hope for a miracle! We are a tough bunch! God has seen us through too many storms to let us down now! I love you!
