Great News

We met with my oncologist this morning to discuss my MRI from yesterday and then later had my next Avastin infusion. The good news is that the tumor has shrunk!!! There is no longer a mid-line shift due to the tumor pressing on the brain since it has shrunk so much. It has shrunk enough. Dr. Glas believes he can wean me off the Decadron steroid. God has given us a great Christmas gift in addition to His Son. Thank you all for praying. We are so gratefull, first to God and to all of you who are partnering with us in this journey.

I haven't checked in for awhile, but I'm sure glad I did today. How wonderful to hear of the tumor shrinking and that you have renewed strength, maybe even to go back to teaching some. PTL!
