Test Results

First, let me apologize for not responding to you concerning results of the recent CT Scan and other tests. We left for a family reunion after our doctor's visit and I didn't have access to a computer.

That being said, we got what we interpreted as a good report. Judy's blood work was perfect, including normal liver function. We had an x-ray done of her spine, which indicated some degeneration of the spine, probably accounting for the back pain. And, finally, the results of the CT Scan were unremarkable progression of the largest tumor on the liver (just a few millimeters). The doctor seemed to be pleased with that reading. We continue to watch the spot on the right kidney, which could possibly be another type of cancer. However, as long as it does not grow, it won't be of concern.

One more thing...Judy is trying lactose-free milk for the next month, which may account for the bloating and pain behind her ribcage.

No matter what may come in the future, we will continue to keep our eyes on Jesus. Oh, how He loves you and me.

Ronnie and Judy

Doctors Visit Tomorrow

Judy has recently been having some symptoms. Our follow-up testing was scheduled for August, but the Doc moved the CT Scan and labs up to yesterday. We have an appointment at Baylor Sammons Cancer Center tomorrow at 9AM.

Judy and I have a real peace about the results of the tests. We believe the symptoms are caused by something else, rather than the cancer. At the same time. if we get bad news, we know that God must have another plan. If so, we will be excited to see where He is taking us. God has blessed us this past year in amazing ways, that we would not have known if Judy had not gotten cancer.

We want to again thank all our friends and family for your faithful prayers and cards of encouragement. I will post again tomorrow after our doctor's appt.

Keeping our eyes on Jesus,

Ronnie and Judy
