We continue to appreciate and need your prayers. We met with the oncologist yesterday afternoon and told him we decided not to do any "maintenance chemo" since there is no benefit to me...just more side effects.
So we are not doing anything...which the doctor said is fine. He said "...when it comes back...we hope and pray that it won't...it could show up in a couple months or a year...if you hit the 2 year mark of keeping the cancer at bay then that is a big marker..."
I am not encouraged by man's declaration about this cancer. We do take into consideration the doctor's experience with patients who have the same type of cancer. So it brings bad news to us. At the same time we turn and rely on God's power and His will for our lives. We continue to pray that God's will for me is to be the mom to raise David well into his adulthood. And to "grow old together" with my husband Tim, the man God brought to me after years of prayer and waiting.
My dear friend, Karyn Elliott came for a visit as well as "nurse-maid" to me and David. She arrived the day that Cecilia left - Sept 6. I had my last chemo on Sept 7, so thankfully we had someone to care for us. I am so blessed to have such wonderful, caring friends to support and pray for us. Thank you Lord:-). Thanks Karyn, we love you!
