We sure do have a lot to praise the Lord about! Mama got her results back from the scan she has last Tuesday. The cancer has not grown since the last scan! Its a big praise that this rapid growing type of cancer has been stopped in its tracks! Now we just have to pray that the meds continue working and shrink the cancer.
Also pray that she can gain some weight back. Thats not a normal request from most women. We are usually wanting to lose weight. She is eating good, just needs to eat more fatty types of food. She still had to worry about sugars for her being diabetic.
This is a short update for now... its getting late! Have a good week!
Psalm 68:19
Praise be to the Lord, to God our Savior, who daily bears our burdens.

Much needed update!!
Sorry for taking so long to update. Lots has gone on in the past month, both good and bad. She was put on oxygen about a month or so ago. Her oxygen level wasn't extremely bad, but they wanted to just be cautious with it. Thats not something you want to play around with. But a good thing.... Doc took her off oxygen this past monday!!!! In the beginning of Oct, she began having nose bleeds. Over the course of a couple of days it just got worse and worse. They went into the doctors office and they immediatly sent her on over to the hospital. Her platlets were so low. I think I'm saying this right... platlets are suppose to be over 100k, and hers were 6k. It was a huge blessing that they had platlets at the hospital that were her type. Normally they have to have them brought from Charolette. Also, the bags were about double the amount in them than they normally have. Otherwise they would have to of gotten more sent from charolette. Since then, she hasn't had much problem with the nose bleeds. Nothing else too exciting has gone on since the last treatment. She has her tired days, and her energetic days. This last monday, Dr. Atkins was very pleased with how she was doing. He said she was responding well to the treatments. She's going to have another scan the tuesday before thanksgiving to see how everything is going inside! Keep up the prayers! God is definitly working!
