Last week was busy and good in every way. I took chemo early last week - Monday instead of Wednesday. On Tuesday, I had repeat CT scans. On Wednesday, we met with the oncologist who said the scans look good. There is no evidence of any active cancer in the liver or anywhere else in my body. Praise God! Thank you for your prayers.
Also on Wednesday, I was disconnected from my take-home chemo and we drove the motorhome to Georgetown, KY on our way to Florida. We continued to drive on Thursday, Friday and a little bit on Saturday before arriving in North Fort Myers, Florida. We are staying at the same campground where we stayed in January through April of 2016. It was good to be at our "Florida home". The campground is in pretty good shape after Hurricane Irma but much work is being done to get it ready for the onslaught of snowbirds.
This week is the one year anniversary of my cancer diagnosis. As much as we want to focus on the present and the future, we can't help but think back to those very dark days just one year ago. God has been so good to us this past year. I am reminded of His promise to never leave us or forsake us. Joan and I have felt His presence with us each and every day of this cancer journey. We have never known one minute of time where we didn’t feel His presence. I was told I might have a year to live if I went through chemo. I feel great. My lab work is good and my scans are good. Praise God, I'm going to live beyond one year.
Thank you for your continued prayers and support. We have felt every single one of them. God is good and He is faithful to His people.
