Good News To Share

Time for another update.

I had my second 3-month CAT scan on Wednesday last week. And yesterday we got the results, a good, clean scan. My oncologist said he was real pleased with the progress I had made and he didn't see any reason to do another scan for 6 months! That was wonderful news, and we thank our gracious God for His great kindness to us.

In addition, he told me that I could discontinue the blood thinning medicine I had been taking since my original surgery a year ago. If you remember I developed rather extensive clots in my lower right leg following surgery and once I was home. And from that time I have been on this drug. But the doctor indicated it had been long enough, and again he didn't see any purpose to continue it. So yea, I am off that drug.

I continue to have an issue with the seroma in my belly. While it is closing the healing is taking some time, and Pam continues to pack it twice daily with gauze. My surgical oncologist says it will close with time, but will probably take a few weeks yet. It doesn't cause me pain, it is just there. So I need to be patient with that.

That's about it for now. I am feeling generally pretty good, and able to do most things I previously did. So again we give thanks to God and continue to trust Him. How precious is His promise that in all things, even in the midst of grievous trials, He is working good for those who love Him [Romans 8:28]. And Paul says we "know!" this to be true. How about you, reader, do you love Him, love God?
