Good News

The Patriots are in the Super Bowl!

Oh wait, that's not the good news! It took a few scans and rescans, but I am in the clear for the next three months. We're going to follow a indistinct spot on my liver that was found on an MRI. There was no evidence of it, though, on a follow up CT scan. My lungs are clear. I go back to the doctor in late April for another MRI and blood tests.

I'm very thankful to God for his provision these last 9 months and for the next 3 months of living my normal non-chemo life. Thank you to everyone for your support as well. It's meant so much to me.

Also, please pray for my aunt, Beth, who is undergoing her third chemotherapy treatment today for beast cancer. I know how hard chemo can be and the power of being lifted up in prayer by those who love you.

I'll try to update this blog occasionally between now and April, but I'm relishing being busy with teaching and graduate school. I might post some pictures of my trip to Indianapolis next weekend. Tickets are a little too pricy at this point, but it should be fun just to be around the Super Bowl festivities as a Patriots fan.

  1. Be sure to take a picture of random areas at the Super Bowl with the caption "Hmmm... Don't see Rex Ryan anywhere around here!". Glad to here the great update!
