Dear Church!

This week I started my third cancer treatment cycle. Only two months of chemo remain. Then, if the myeloma protein doesn’t show in blood tests, the next step is another bone marrow biopsy. If it shows zero cancer cells present, remission has been achieved. If cancer cells are found, autologous stem cell transplant is a possible next step.

My latest lab tests show the chemotherapy and targeted monoclonal antibody treatments have been very effective. I praise God for giving the medical community the tools to develop these amazing medicines.

While medicine side effects can be tough, God’s grace is tougher! I’m in awe of God’s peace. He gives without measure. He has protected me from worry and fear and filled me with joyful, expectant hope. I’m also learning that He is always worthy of my worship at all times in all circumstances.

John and I are humbled by the many prayers being made for us. Thank you. How precious is the body of Christ!

As we continue to look to God for healing, please continue to pray in light of Psalm 73:28 But for me it is good to be near God; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, that I may tell of all Your works.
