We went for the test results today and had to wait an additional 45 minutes, which added to our anxiety. But, the news was wonderful. "There was a significant reduction in all the tumors and the treatment had worked well."

So, the doctor told us we need to continue with the same set of chemicals and add one other one, but make them all a smaller amount, so his body won't have such a hard time accepting the treatment. We were all pleasantly pleased with these results. One of the tumors (his biggest one) went from a 3 cm to a 1 cm. in size.

They immediately started the treatment again and he will go for "2 rounds" and then that is all the treatment he could ever have. One today, one next Monday, a week off and then repeat for one more round. Then, another CT Scan and we will have the final results of this treatment.

It is obvious to us that all the fasting and prayers in John's behalf has created a miracle at this time. I hope you all have room to keep him on your personal prayer list and continue sending them our way.

I don't know how often I will update the blog, but rest assured, I will each and every day, if there is something to report. Let's say at least every Monday. Let me know if that is often enough for you all.

Love, from both of us

  1. AMAZING! And yes, it sure is a miracle! We're so happy for you and of course you will still remain in our prayers.

    Hope the possible reactions will not be as ugly as last time.
