A HUGE ANSWER TO THOUSANDS OF PRAYERS!
We met with Dr. Easaw this morning and he quickly gave us the good news that the MRI looked great. There are no new lesions and everything looks like it is healing well. My Dad has had some headaches, some swelling around his scar, and some sensitivity to screens and Dr. Easaw assured him that these are all normal things.
He was amazed when he heard that my Dad was doing so much walking and work around the yard, and went on to say that my Dad is the healthiest patient that he would see all day!
This feeling of relief is something that we haven't had for the past six months. Although my Dad has been doing everything that he can do to fight the beast, we haven't known how well things have been working. While my Dad seems healthy and looks like he is doing well, we still haven't had any certainty. So today is a pretty amazing day, to know that my Dad's body is doing just as well on the inside as it is on the outside. To know that God has answered so many prayers and performed miracle after miracle. To know that the beast is being slain.
Going forward, my Dad is going to continue with his 5-days-on, 23-days-off chemotherapy schedule for at least another three months. We pray that he can continue to tolerate the chemo as well as he has been and that it can continue to be effective.
Thank you SO much for all of your prayers. We cannot describe how blessed we feel and how loved we feel. My parents both said that their phones were tinging away all morning before the appointment as friends and family let them know that our family is in their thoughts and prayers. Please continue to pray for more miracles and continued health for my Dad!
