Greetings to all:

Once again we may report good news.
Today we visited with our cancer specialist and he told us that the cancer had not spread since the scan in December. As a matter of fact there is no cancer visible in the lung/chest area and the cancer in the kidney has neither grown or diminished (with a 25% margin for error either way), and the cancer in the pelvic area has diminished while the pelvic bone is healing. Considering it has been four months since the previous scan we are very grateful for this news. As you might imagine four months of chemo pills with the attendant side effects sometimes makes us think that things have taken a turn for the worse.

We praise God for this marvelous news and we thank Him that our plans to visit three sons in Manitoba and Ontario can go ahead. We hope to complete our residential move at the end of this week and to be ready to holiday on Tuesday of next week. We hope to be gone for a little more than four weeks and to spend at least a week at each of our three sons.

We have much reason to thank God for these developments and we also appreciate very much the interest shown by so many brothers and sisters in the Lord. We thank you for your prayers. We are convinced that the Lord continues to hear them and to bless them.

Each day we praise God from Whom all blessings flow.
