So this morning, John had a CT scan. We hadn't expected to get the results until next week as his oncologist is on vacation this week; however, while John was waiting for the test, the Dr. who did his needle biopsy appeared. John was in his office area and he knows this Dr. as he spent quite a bit of time with him quoting a new roof for his home.
The Dr. asked the technician to send the images to him immediately and he took John back to his office. The tumors are shrinking, John believes probably by about 1/3 thus far. While we had both hoped that there would be no tumors in the images, that wasn't the case. We are pleased that the chemo appears to be working and hope to see more progress with the next two treatments coming up on the 7th and 21st.
Your prayers for the chemo to effectively do its job are appreciated, as well as lifting John up as he receives and recovers from the treatments. Each time it gets a little harder to recover although we were pleased to go to church on Saturday evening and even to Bob Evans to share some comfort food afterwards. John was thrilled as I have hardly let him eat anything out and he really enjoyed having sausage!
We do enjoy hearing from folks. If you get the chance, log in to comment on the blog as an anonymous visitor and you can just leave your name in the body of the comment if you like.

Praise the Lord that the tumors are shrinknig!!! We were thrilled to read the good news tonight. I am not going to write much until I see if it takes it. I wrote a quite lengthy note last week and it asked me for my password and each time I put in in it said it was invalid. I don't remember doing that before. I have commented several times and I hope you got our love notes. We will keep praying! God vless you all. Aunt Lou and Bob xoxoxoxo
Hi dear ones,
We are praying for healing and comfort on this more difficult day. The news that the tumors are smaller is certainly good. May God continue to accomplish His perfect will and give you total healing in the process.
Love you.
