Unicorn Rides Again

So for those of you who know Alan's cancer story, you know that I have called him a "Unicorn" since this recurrence began 18 months ago today.

Today, today, GOD used his "Unicornness," in Alan's favor.

So at this point in this immunotherapy protocol, the tumors stay stable. There are working theories that the tumors remain stable because the cancer is all gone, but scan tissue remains and basically the masses are just "smoking craters," to coin an Alan-ism.

Well Alan, being a Unicorn, surprised Dr. Dude with not just stability BUT some significant shrinkage. YES, SHRINKAGE!! 15 months in on treatment, and we are still seeing this cancer DIE. Not just hold steady. No, SHRINK!!

As we sat waiting on treatment this afternoon, it was all we could do to hold back the tears of joy, tears of gratitude to Our Lord!

Thank you Father for continuing to work in my husband's body and KILL this cancer. Thank you Lord for this blessing.

Also, Dr. Dude increased the time between scans. Next scan will be in 4 months instead of 3 months! Thank you again Lord for this blessing.

Marvin (left paracolic tumor) decreased by roughly 40%!
K. (left hemipelvis tumor) decreased by roughly 16%!
Mooney (midline pelvic tumor) decreased by roughly 40%!

Marvin K. Mooney, WILL YOU PLEASE GO NOW?!
