Praise the Lord!

We went to the hospital this morning, and came home grateful to the Lord for His goodness. Although the consultant had not actually seen the scan results when he arrived to see us (!), he managed to locate them - and I am very pleased to report that he says the tumours seem to be responding well to the chemo. Truly the Lord is good!

He therefore proposes to have the Groshong line re-inserted, hopefully later this week, then carry on with another three cycles of treatment (ie 9 weeks, subject as usual to delays due to bed availability, or rather bed non-availability!) - then take another scan and review the situation again.

Sue is (we both are!) therefore relieved; she is by no means out of the woods, but the Lord has not allowed things to get worse, nor do we have to adapt to another treatment regime. What a joy and privilege to have a heavenly Father Who knows and allows and controls, and to be able to accept all that He sends; and also to know that "The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon Him, to all that call upon Him in truth".

2Co 1:11 Ye also helping together by prayer for us, that for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of many persons thanks may be given by many on our behalf.
