MY BLOG

Thank you for checking in on my blog. The idea of this blog is to keep you up to date on my cancer journey. I will also post some personal thoughts from time to time. Whatever I post, know that it is written with love. Also, know that it might be written with some of my wit. So it might not be grammatically or politically correct.

Tuesday, January 21

Blogger family
We received really good news today! The results of the scans from yesterday are in.
There is no sign of cancer spreading to any other vital organs.
Also, the tumors that we have been watching are shrinking.
Also, the tumor marker number (ca19-9) is trending downward. Also, my liver enzymes are normal.
Ain't God good?
Oh, and we got the chance to sit and talk with Dr. Chang a few minutes this afternoon. She is pleased with where we are so far. When the doctor is pleased, Diane is pleased. And when Diane is pleased, I am pleased. Dr. Chang's recommendation is that we continue our chemotherapy with the same dosage and same schedule that we have been doing. We should take about five more treatments, which will take about 10 more weeks. I'm okay with that. 
In the "Murphy's law" category, my back has been bothering me. They discovered that I have a compression fracture in my spine. We will see a neurosurgeon tomorrow to determine if a surgical procedure will help.

All in all, we have had a great day in the Lord. We thank Him for all of our blessings. But all is not perfect in the Mitchell household. Would you say a little prayer for us. We would appreciate it, God will answer it. We will all be amazed by it.

Lord, let it begin with Jerry.
