Mostly Good News and a Prayer Request

I just spoke with my dad following his appointment with the radiologist. As I had mentioned previously, he had a CT scan done on Tuesday so he had to go in today to find out the results.

The mostly good news is that the tumor and spots on dad's lymph nodes have shrunk and will continue to do so. This is very early to do another CT scan as the radiation is still working in his body to kill the cells. God is good and that answer was as we had expected given that dad has been able to eat and drink more and easier these past couple of weeks.

We do have a prayer request though. There was a spot on the liver in the CT scan. They don't know what the spot is, but they note anything that is different from the last time. It could be something as simple as a blood vessel, but they just don't know yet. We ask for prayers that the spot is nothing.

Mom and dad will meet with the surgeon tomorrow to get more information and to find out about next steps.

Exodus 23:25  “Worship the Lord your God, and his blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you.”
