Here we are 3 years and 6 months to the day since Alan's recurrence. 3.5 years we have walked this metastatic cancer journey. Some days were bad. Some days were good. Some appointments left us breathless. Some appointments left us hopeful.
TODAY left us both - breathless and hopeful!
We've been praying and waiting for this day for so long! Our God is faithful! Our God is never late! Our God always has a plan! Even when we can't see it. Even when we don't like it.
Marvin K. Mooney - his three metastatic tumors. K was gone after the last scan in July!
Today Marvin has vanished from the scans! It is "imperceptible" - to quote Dr. Dude!
AND Mooney is "stable and probably scar tissue." And may always be there in the scans - stuck at 1.8 cm by 1.0 cm.
After being told this treatment was his ONLY viable option to be here for the girls' high school graduations to now, there really are not enough words to describe the joy we are feeling.
With Alan having Lynch syndrome, we know that cancer possibilities and the chance of this cancer rearing it's head again are high, but for now battle 2 of this war is won! He's down to 4 month scans for the next two and then 6 months! Today, we celebrate battle 2 being done!
And today, I retire my second hat and pray I never need a third. Counting our joy!
“Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.”
James 1:2-4 ESV
