Results are IN!!!

We received the results today on the PetScan that Jan underwent on Wednesday, and, according to Dr. Howton, they were completely clear. This is a huge relief for us, as it indicates that the cancer has not taken hold anywhere else in Jan’s body, and her diagnosis remains Stage III Colon Cancer. She will still undergo chemo to destroy any lingering cancer cells, and will be monitored for the next 5 years to make sure that it doesn’t return. Thank you for your prayers and encouragement, we are truly blessed to have so many friends and loved ones who are helping us through this time. We will be offering a prayer of thanks for God’s healing hand as He has held us and sustained us through a difficult time, and we know that He will continue to be our strength in whatever comes our way. (By the way, did I marry way over my head or what? What a cutie!)

Finally an entry that made me decide to leave a comment! Praise the Lord! We rejoice with ya'll at the latest test results! Lots of prayers have gone up for this precious friend of ours, and will continue to do so!

Next comment will have to be a humorous one! Like you, I can't be serious for too long!
