We went to the doctor today to get the results of my last PET/CT scan and the news was very good: I can take some time off of chemo. I still need to go back every 4 or 5 weeks for a check, but for the near future at least, no more chemo. Penny put together the following which I can't top:
"My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest." (Deuteronomy 33:14) We are celebrating today God's presence with us over these last 5-1/2 months and the rest (peace) He has provided during the treatments. Now Chuck can enjoy some rest from the all chemo medication and treatments for awhile. He's so happy about that. The recent scans showed a slight improvement over the last scans, but the major work on the cancer occurred during the first cycle of treatments. He responded very well. The doctor would like for Chuck to take a break, hopefully a long one, and to check in every 4-6 weeks to keep tabs on his condition. Chuck feels good and is looking forward to feeling back to normal soon. We praise and thank God who is faithful to His promises to care for His children in every detail of their need. We are so thankful to belong to Him and experience His love. Again, thank you for your prayers and loving support. Penny
