MIRACLES DO HAPPEN

Tell everyone about God’s power. His majesty shines down on Israel; his strength is mighty in the heavens. God is awesome in his sanctuary. The God of Israel gives power and strength to his people. Praise be to God!
Psalm 68:34-35, NLT

Some of you know that I went in for an MRI of the brain and a CAT Scan of the chest/abdomen/pelvis regions this past week. Well, I have good news everybody. Your prayers are working!!!!!!! Like we even doubted . The CAT Scan showed that the chemo I’m currently on (Gemzar) and the Herceptin have CONSIDERABLY reduced in size. AND there are no new tumors. YEAH!!!!! So we are going to continue with the chemo/Herceptin treatment until God tells to stop.

Now, with the MRI of the brain, they did see some brain and nerve damage which is caused by the necrosis (tissue death) we talked about during the second radiation to the brain stem. But, I felt the risks of side effects far outweighed not choosing to have the radiation on the brain stem. They did say necrosis would start to show up 6 months to a year after my last radiation treatment and it’s that time. They are weaning my off the steroids, so they can accurately see what is necrosis and what is not. Now……..are you ready for the Miracle part of this…….are you sitting down? Here goes………………………

The two tumors, including that big on in the brain stem are COMPLETELY GONE!!!!! There is absolutely no sign of them anywhere. They even did the scan on the same machine and compared it to the last one I had in December. December…..Tumors. February……..NO Tumors!

I AM COMPLETELY CANCER FREE OF THE BRAIN

PRAISE GOD! I’M NOT IN REMISSION…..I AM CANCER FREE!

There are no signs of any tumors or cancer in my brain. Please worship and praise the Lord with me and please continue to pray for the cancer in my chest/lungs/neck/armpit/lymph nodes. God is so good and I so hope you get to know Him (if you don’t already) like I do because He is awesome, loving, freeing, gracious, merciful, awe inspiring, my king, my savior, my husband, my everything. I love Him.
