Last Friday I had another CT scan. I got the results faxed to me and when I read over the report the news didn't look good. The report stated that I had progression in the cancer in my bones....or at least that is what I thought. I called and talked with my sister, Lanissa, and she said she would pray that I read the report wrong. I had an appointment with my doctor this past week and sure enough the report wasn't the bad news that I had expected. My doctor told me that my cancer levels are continuing to drop. They are now down to 484! (The last level was 758) The CT scan was not clear about the progression of cancer in my bones. It did state that there were "sclerotic lesions" which my doctor explained to me were lesions that were healing. The Lord answered my sister's prayer--I had read the report totally wrong!
My doctor decided to add another medication to my chemotherapy. It's a drug called Zometa and it is supposed to help strengthen my bones. I had my first dose on Friday and overall feel pretty good. There are some side effects after the treatment--slight fever, flu-like symptoms, some bone pain but should go away within the week.
We are continuing to pray for complete healing but thanking the Lord for another good report!
God is good ALL the time!
