GOOD NEWS!!

It has been an incredibly long few days as we have been anxiously waiting for the news of Andrea's CT and Whole Body Scan. Initially we were expecting the results this past Thursday, when we picked her up from the hospital, but the only result shared with us at that time was the thyroglobulin levels - encouraging news, but inconclusive. At that time we were told that the complete results would be available on Monday morning. We finally got a hold of the doctor on Monday afternoon but he did not have the reports prepared yet. So we waited again - now more anxious than ever! We were expecting a call at 11.00am today......... finally at 3.00pm we received Andrea's results from the CT and Whole-Body Scan. GOOD NEWS!! The Dr indicated (over the phone) that all was normal - that the levels of remaining thyroid tissue are "normal" and that there is no metastasis (spreading of the cancer) to the lungs or lymph nodes. All looks good. Praise God!

We will meet with the Dr on Friday to see pictures of the scan, discuss the report, and ask more questions about the plan for future monitoring. We will write an update after this weekend.

Once again we thank you for your prayers and support. We continue to trust in God's faithfulness and take comfort in his sovereignty.
