Sometimes it's no news......

We are getting used to the up and down anticipation of going in for scans, waiting for results, and moving forward. Sheri's PET body scan was good this past week. Today we ventured over the mountain to the UW (Go Cougs!) for a MRI brain scan. The last three have been great, showing shrinking, or out right disappearing of the tumors. Today's scan was different. The Doctor told us nine months ago when we got to this point we might see some slight edema (swelling) around some of the tumors....which we did. It makes the tumors look slightly larger....but he's 90% sure it's scare tissue....but....He wants us back in two months to be sure. It's not bad news, it's not good news, it's we are waiting for the next scan news (no news). He predicted we might see this nine months ago, so here we are. Once again God is telling us to "Be still and know I am God." Please pray for good results in two months and Sheri's continued healing, we'll keep looking Up. Thanks for following us in our journey.

Good News

Round one of scans are done. Yeah! They look good. Now we are on to round two. That will be a MRI at the University of Washington on Tues., the 23rd of this month.

I've been on a double chemo since late July or early August. I have three weeks off one of my chemos to let my hands and feet heal completely. Ahhhh, that will feel good. Then I'll go back to one chemo constantly and the other one I'll take one week on and one week off. I guess they are getting really good results with others under this treatment. My doctor also let us know they have discovered another new drug that is very promising for Her 2+ patients. We were glad to hear that!

We are very thankful for the answer to prayer. Ok, let me be more specific. We are thankful that He specifically gave us good scans. Thank you Lord!

Thanks for praying with us!

Looking up,

Not sick!

Normally we go down for a PET scan on Saturday later in the morning. Occasionally I get sick on the way down because I'm not allowed to eat 6 hours before the scan...that means no morning coffee and a bite to eat! This Saturday I got the earliest appointment available and did just fine! Yeah! I was so thankful all day.
Tomorrow we get results.
Thanks for praying. You all must be, because I feel totally at peace.

Keep looking up!

Zona Fun!

Saturday night we returned from a fun filled week in Arizona visiting dad. We hit the pool, the zoo, the flea market, and more. The boys enjoyed golfing...especially Bryce. He chipped in a shot that rolled onto the green and into the hole. It amazed Brett and dad. He was pretty proud.

I'm feeling well. I just have to be careful with my hands and feet. They tend to crack very easily. However, it is all manageable. I'm very thankful for that.

This Saturday I go in for a PET scan and next Friday we go to the UW for a MRI. We're looking for and hoping for continued great results. Please pray with us for this. Thanks!

Looking up!
