No real "news" to report

Jeanne is doing well.. Her health is good, considering. As many have said to us, and we have said before, she does not look like she has cancer. What a person is supposed to look like who has cancer is a mystery to us. She is in her eighth week of chemotherapy (every Thursday), with only one instance of her blood counts being too low. As well, she has been diligent in taking a boatload of daily supplements, and making changes to her diet. Jeanne is more tired than usual, and has limited her activities to reduce fatigue.

On March 28th, Jeanne is scheduled for a CT and an MRI, with results on March 31st. (Read: please do not expect an news until after the 31st.) Probably the wait between the 28th and the 31st will be an anxious one.

These tests will let us know the status of the cancer growth, specifically in the brain and liver. We are hopeful that the tests will indicate the tumor growth has slowed, and better yet, has regressed. We appreciate your prayers for the outcomes and for us to be at peace with whatever the results are.

A prayer focus would be wonderful for:

• showing a decrease in size/quantity of tumors in the liver,
• no additional tumor growth in the brain,
• for our minds to be clear, and our hearts to be hopeful,
• and to be grateful for every day, and not focus on fretfulness, fear or confusion.


Love you all,
Pat and Jeanne
