You will have guessed from the above that we have good news to share!
We have been to the hospital three days in a row – 12 hours for a blood transfusion on Sunday, 1.5 hours for a scan yesterday, and then to outpatients today. Bearing in mind that the results of the first scan took a week, we were not over-hopeful about the results from yesterday being available today; but they were. Although not using the words "cure" or "remission", and although cautious enough to day that there were still "some lymph node abnormalities", the doctor did say that Sue's liver looked "much better". She therefore proposed that the chemo due today (a pump-sack top-up) should be cancelled; and also that all treatment should be put on hold for four weeks, to give Sue a break.
So – PRAISE THE LORD!
Our brothers and sisters in Christ from so many churches and fellowships have been so good in praying for us, and we are therefore delighted to be able to share the good news of answered prayer with you. We will still need (and very much value) your prayers in the coming days; we have no idea at this stage what will happen when we go back in four week's time, or thereafter, and Sue is still quite weak. But the good news today is a great lift for us all, and the break will do her good – and she may even feel like going out for a meal for her birthday next month!
Meanwhile, rejoice with us! And – without in any way minimising the care shown by the medical staff, and their expertise, and the drugs at their disposal – give God the glory!
