2/13 MRI Follow-up Results


We just got back from the last update with the oncologist, looking at the last MRI, taken on Monday, it seems that the pill based chemotherapy was not being very effective. It was clear that the tumor has started to grow again. Clearly, this is not the news that we were hoping for, but we were not terribly surprised based on Jenny's energy level over the last week or so. 

The next treatment option is the IV chemotherapy,  so starting on the 21st we will start the IV visits every two weeks.

This down-side of this new treatment are potentially more side effects and more time spent in hospitals, since each IV visit is roughly 3 hours long.

Please pray that Jenny continues to experience God's Grace through this time of transition and change (which is not her favorite thing). One observation of God's Grace that we experienced today was a very kind nurse that shared with us her faith in God's healing power and sustaining grace, which was very encouraging and timely.

Thank you all for your continued care and concern.

    So sorry for the less-than-desired news, but how sweet of the Lord to bing an encourager along just when you needed it! May the Lord use this more agressive treatment in a magnified way in Jenny's body and bring great results! Praying for you all...

    Much Love to each of you!! We continue to pray for complete healing, and we will be praying for opportunities of sharing God's love as the hospital visits increase. Praying also for strength and energy in this new season of treatment.
    Trusting in a God who created the world with a breath of His voice, can move a mountain at His command, and owns the cattle on a 1000 hills!!
