2/26 update! Email I sent to our church prayer chain:
Thank you all so much for continued prayer. We are back at Pennsylvania Hospital for another 4 days of chemo. It was made plain to us that if Fred wasn't responding to the chemo, he would be feeling worse pretty quickly.
Other than a cough that looks like it will be around awhile, he is feeling good! Some obvious symptoms have disappeared. His breathing has been good. His caregivers here are encouraged to see him doing so well.
So many of you prayed and fasted on our behalf, with the specific request that they would get it right the first time. This was especially important because they weren't quite sure what specific cancer he had when treatment began. Praise God it looks like they did indeed get it right the first time!
Fred will have a scan on March 9, which will give a clearer picture of what's happening.
The power of our prayers lies in the One who listens and answers. He is pleased when we bear one another's burdens, coming boldly before the throne of grace to find mercy and grace in our time of need.
Thank you more than words can say for interceding for us, and for drenching us in the love of Jesus.

Great great news....~~~ Oh and this is my favorite bible quote Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." jenjie Have you thought about a caring bridge site?? Then you could just post an update once instead of trying to keep everyone informed through different ways. I belong to many of them and get an email when there is an update...

I mentioned on another thread, I think I'm not ready to admit that we NEED caring bridge. I'm sure I will use it at some point. I've been having a hard time accepting help too, because I don't want to be in a place where we need help. On the other hand I'm overwhelmed in a good way by the help we've been offered. I need to be a gracious receiver.

Praying for your family as you journey through this. My husband battled osteoscaroma in his jaw. Cancer is a scary journey with an unknown outcome. Enjoy each day you have together and I pray for your medical team that God will guide them to help your family as best as they can.
