Thrive in Peace

Hello All,

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God." Phil 4:6

Earl is resting at home. We have had a turbulent week. Friday he had his colonoscopy and even though we did not get home from the hospital until 11pm, (long story) the results came back good. We had our CT scan Monday and did discover that he has fluid in this lung and the cancer is now showing up in the liver. However, the liver is still functioning fine. Not quite what we were hoping but we are not broken. He is having the fluid removed tomorrow, a simple procedure-we were told. And then we will have to change to a different chemo to see if that will slow down this cancer. Still not sure when we will start the new treatment. The "spots" of cancer that show up in the chest and liver are VERY small and that's how we hope the keep them. Our Doctors words were" you are young and healthy and you still have many more options to fight this." We hope at some point to take a break from chemo as it wears on Earl and really makes him so tired. I have to believe that the day will come. So besides this little cancer thing, we are in love, happy and enjoy each and everyday to the fullest. Hope you are too! Donna
