MRI Update

Well as some of you may know, Scott went this past Saturday for another MRI scan- cant believe it has already been two months since his last one - Anyway, we went today for the results...after waiting patiently for two hours for the doctor...he came in and told us that he had another GREAT scan!!!! There has been no new growth on his tumor! Woooohooooo! Praise the Lord, AGAIN!!! We were immediately relieved and all breathed a huge sigh of relief!

These scans sure are nerve wrecking!!!! There is just so much anticipation and thoughts that just wont stop running in our minds! Since there was no growth, Scott will continue on with this trial study...he will continue to take the Avastin in the IV form every two weeks, and he will also continue with the pill form Tarceva. He will go back for another MRI scan in two months.

Since the last doctor visit, when they reduced the dosage of the Tarceva, Scott has done really well! He feels great and has a slight rash; however it is nothing like the way that it was the first few weeks on the drug. As long as the rash is not bothering him, he has decided to welcome it with love! - Well, I say that, that is if it is working!! :) The doctors and nurses say that they like to see a rash on patients that take this drug, because people that break out normally respond well to the drug... so that is why we think of it as a good thing!

We are so thankful for all of the prayers and prayer lists that Scott has been added to, lets not forget to keep on praying!!! The power of prayer is working! We will not lose our faith - It seems like it is being tested and we are going to win this test! We know that God has great things in store for us!

Philippians 4:6-7

Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything; tell God your needs, and don't forget to thank Him for His answers. If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will keep your thoughts and your hearts quiet and at rest as you trust in Christ.

Love to ALL!!!
