We had out second oncology appointment this week. We were hoping to get results back from genetic testing, but we will have to wait until the next appointment. However, we did get one major blood test result back. It was a test to show the MTM/mL (mean tumor levels) levels in her blood. It came back showing there were no molecules of cancer in her blood stream. Obviously this is a tremendous praise report and relief. This is one of the tests we were waiting on to figure out her post treatment and the need for chemo. Unless the Oncologist finds more abnormalities in her blood or future Imaging, prayerfully she will not have to go through that process. A silver lining that we were told though is that if she does have to go on chemo it wont be an aggressive round of it. She also had her first appointment with her PCP. We were blessed to see how much she was on top of things. I would hope that this i...
Good evening friends & fam! Thank you all for your constant love, support, and prayers. I am so grateful to have each and every one of you. What a precious gift from God that you all are to me. My consultation with the oncologist went well today. By God’s grace the cancer did not spread to any of my 28 lymph nodes. My doctor explained that the inflammation surrounded the cancer in my colon in such a way that it couldn’t spread anywhere. I’ve never heard of that before, so either it’s a God ordained miracle, or it’s the way God created our bodies to protect us. I am grateful for this and amazed by it. God was already taking care of me before I was even aware of the existence of any cancer in my body. My oncologist will determine whether or not I need chemo or other treatment based on several tests: they are running a couple tests on the cancer they removed, which will take a couple weeks; they did blood work this afternoon to run a couple spe...
Hi everyone, I hope your summer has been enjoyable so far! I recently received some test results back for cancer monitoring, and they are all reasons to praise the Lord Jesus Christ: my CEA marker has remained within the normal range, and my in depth Signatera blood test came back negative for any trace of cancer! I still need to complete a CT scan to further confirm these results, but this is a solid start. Please join me in thanking and praising God for His grace over me! I know there are many who do not receive this type of news, including my friend Sarah's father who has been undergoing chemo and radiation for many months. I deserve hell for my sins, and yet in Christ I am blessed with so much good news. The gospel itself is good news. I'd like to thank my precious Maria for reminding me that the gospel is all the good news I need in this life: that Jesus came, lived a life of perfect obedience to God, resulting in His death on the cross to pay fo...
