"Praise Be to You, The Lord Our Rock.......Who trains our hands for war, our fingers for battle. You are our loving God and our fortress, our stronghold and our deliverer, our shield in whom we take refuge. Part Your heavens, O Lord, and come down; touch the mountains, so that they smoke. Send forth lightning and scatter the enemy; shoot Your arrows and rout them. Reach down Your hand from on high; deliver us and rescue us!" (Praying Gods Word, Psalm 144:1-2, 5-7)

Mike and I are home safely. Thank you for your prayers.

Our trip to MD Anderson was very exhausting and we didn't receive the news we were hoping for. Simply, Mike's tumor grew .7 of a centimeter larger with this scan. The doctors didn't seem alarmed, but suggested Mike begin treatment again. There are a couple of other things they are following, and keeping an eye on, but our largest concern is the liver tumor. They are wanting a specific lab reading to come down a little before they begin treatment.

The treatments will be done here in Russellville. The treatment will consist of one oral chemotherapy drug, and one IV drug every three weeks. They decided to use a different form of chemotherapy to cut down on the Neuropathy damage the past two drugs gave Mike. They told us we could always return to that in the future, but they thought something a little more easier, would be better for Mike now.

We are extremely tired, and would appreciate your continued prayers, as we press onward. Thank you so much for your love and support.
