Quick Update

October 29, 2011 by schwar521

A quick thank you to all who have been praying for us as we have been battling my brain cancer over the last 20 months. It has been quite a journey and we recevied some good news this week. I have completed 18 rounds of chemotherapy and was told by the doctor this week that there is no more need for me to be taking chemo – that phase of survivorship has been complete. The tumor is stable right now – all scans show that it is not growing and has been significantly affected by the chemo. We can’t be certain that it has been eliminated, but all signs look really good. The doctors will continue to monitor it on a regular basis for the years to come. We are excited that I will be able to start feeling better and regain the energy that I have lost while on chemo. We are praising God for the diagnosis and all
of the prayers that have been lifted on our behalf over the last 20 months.

Remember that saying from over a year ago …”shrink that tumor, shrink that tumor”… well, God has answered our prayers – He obviously still has a plan for you, Jenn and Emma — many many prayers will continue to come your way, for your health and what God has in his plan for your future. I love you, Jenn and Emma! Mom

Words cannot express my thanks to GOD for answering our prayers for you. I also thank God for giving you strength and perseverence to continue your fight against the cancer and for giving Jenn the love and strength she needed to help you through this. Wherever God wants you to do or to go in the future I know he will be leading you. Love, Nana
