Thinking of you this weekend and hoping the next scan will show continuing success.

I am still in a state of awe.

I had my final CT scan of 2017 yesterday and while we are always hopeful we are almost never prepared for the miracles that God works.

The primary tumor is all but gone, looking like a few sprinkles on an ice cream cone. The tumors on the rib are around 80% of their original size and continue to shrink. The doctor showed us the side-by-side scans from May, October and yesterday and it doesn’t even seem the word “miraculous” is enough. All praises to our God who will put you where you need to be, when you need to be there, with the people you need to be with. Without his guidance we would be nowhere.

I can look more forward to the Christmas season with a more grateful heart. Fay and I will be surrounded by our kids and there can be no better gift.

I am very thankful for your continued prayers. Very thankful. Every morning when I wake up I think about all who are praying for me and my family and I pray in return for you and yours.

Merry Christmas to each and every one of you and thank you for being a part of our miracle!

I was scared to click on this thread. So often the news in these situations is not what you want to hear.

So happy to read your latest update man. Remember if you ever need anything on your MD Anderson, even if it's just good company, I’m a hop, skip and jump away.

I am so glad to hear this. Hopefully you can sit back and enjoy the holiday season with friends and family and just feel great about life.

Any post in this thread that begins "I am still in a state of awe" by the OP is good news!

Really, really glad to hear, Jay. Continue on your path and take that Hellcat out for a spin

Merry Christmas!!
