Cancer Update - 8/24/10

For the second day in a row, we drove back to Birmingham again. Today we had an appt with the doctor @9am to get the results of the scan and to do blood work. I also had a chemotherapy treatment scheduled for 11am. I did blood work and we met with the doctor. The scan wasn't ready yet because the new facilitythat we went to, took the scan at a different angle than my last scan in July, which was done at UAB. This detail prevented side by measurements to determine how much the tumor is shrinking. So the scan had to be sent to UAB to be adjusted and compared. My chemotherapy treatment was indefinitely postponed and we expected to wait another day for results. At 3pm, we got a call from the oncologist office.The doctor reviewed the chest scans and stated " that I was responding very well to the chemotherapy." This is definitely good news. We are going to pray even harder and take this as evidence of prayer working. Thanks everyone for your prayers!
