4-3=1

This last week, I had another doctor visit.  While there was tremendous anticipation for the test results from the blood that was taken the week prior, the report was not in when I went to my appointment on Tuesday.  But by Thursday morning, we had received the report and confirmed with the doc some great news!  The cancer count is down from 4% to 1%!  GOD is GOOD!

While last month I was a bit discouraged and concerned at the thought that my body was no longer responding to the Gleevec, I have renewed hope.  Rochelle has remained optimistic throughout this process, and the LORD has continually used her to encourage me when I am down and lacking faith.  Praise GOD that HE is always faithful despite our weaknesses!  So with the concerns of needing to switch medicine, and the uncertainty that comes with such a switch being extinguished for the time being, we are so thankful and relieved.

The plan for the time being is to continue on the current dosage of Gleevec (600mg) and check the numbers again next month.  Thank you for your prayers!  Please keep them coming.
