This afternoon, we are rejoicing in the abundant mercy and grace of God. We received encouraging news when we visited the oncologist! The primary tumor is responding to treatment. The radiology report reads as follows:
"...mass appears to have contracted slightly since the study of 12/20/06. Associated pleural effusion (fluid) has also reduced. No new abnormality is identified."
Based on the measurements provided from both readings, it looks like it amounts to an approximate 30% reduction in overall size - if my math is correct. We have been praying for God's intervention, and would have counted no growth as an answer to prayer. But God gave us more than what we expected, and we are so very grateful. While we are aware that this is a long-term battle, we are rejoicing in the victory God has given us for today - and it is not insignificant.
As is normally the case, there is more that I would like to add to this posting, but I'll let that go for now. We know you will be rejoicing with us at the encouraging news, and in the faithfulness of God demonstrated towards us. So, because I know many will visit this evening for an update, I wanted to be sure to get this good news posted. Thank you ever so much for your prayers.

You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness! To the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent. O LORD my God, I will give thanks to You forever! Psalm 30:11-12

Muggs...good seeing you today even if only at a stop light :o) We had an hours drive which I mainly spent praying for your Chemo treatment today. Hope it went well. Glad you have the extra day now to get "juiced up" on Fridays if needed before heading into the weekend. We'll be praying for you this next week - no dehydration, no nausea, and added energy. Love ya.....also - Kates tests ended up fine which was a relief.
