Well here we go again. More opportunities to trust and grow in the things God has for us. Our oncologist has ordered new testing for Joyce - CT and Bone scan and brain MRI. Her tumor marker count went up, doubling from 2 months ago, so it's likely, barring Divine Intervention, that she will be starting chemo again soon.
We'll be scheduling all the tests by early next week and then meet again with the doc in December to discuss the best way to continue the fight.

Thanks to all who have been praying - please don't stop! We're both doing better this time. We're learning not to project too far ahead because our tendency is to be fearful about things that haven't happened.

God does hear all our prayers and cares more than we know about all this. How He chooses to answer is often beyond our understanding...but were not to lean on our own understanding anyway.

On another note, thought you might like a pic of our newest granddaughter, Brooklynn, born 6 weeks ago!

Blessings! Pat
