Test Results~

Jan, once again, got great results. All is still clear! We are thrilled, as you can only imagine, to hear this great news.

She will return in February to MD Anderson. If all is still clear, her treatment schedule will change in that she will get treatment every 3 weeks, instead of every 2 weeks.

Thanks for continuing to join up in praying for complete earthly healing!

Jan ~ Testing

Jan is at MD Anderson. She did her testing last night and sees the oncologist today at 11:30. Please pray for great results!

It has been a long time...

Haven't posted anything in quite some time. Life in general seems rather busy. Probably too busy. I seem to involve myself in too many things that I'm scrambling to keep up with them all. Thanksgiving was good. A lot to be thankful for.

Jan continues to do well, especially in light of the fact that she has been fighting this nasty cancer for 2 years on November 13, 2009. The treatment she is on now seems to be working well. Please pray for her. I know it isn't easy for her. She does handle it like a champ. But, the treatment is hard on her body. If I could have one wish granted today, it would be for her complete earthly healing.

Our family, really Jan's immediate family, has babies popping up everywhere. Soon there will be 4 baby/little girls. Don't get to see them much, but they are fun when I do.

Jan returns to MD Anderson this next week for testing. Please pray for great results.

Hope and pray you all had a great Thanksgiving.

Love,
Cheryl

Update

I guess I forgot to come back and put the information here about Jan's visit at MD Anderson this week. I posted for her on her blog and on FB, but forgot about here.

So, here is the GREAT NEWS:

I've talked to Jan and Mom a few times today. Jan had the staples taken out and was able to see the MRI which was done after surgery a couple of weeks ago. Clear. The tumors are gone. Jan said, "God is Great!"

They were also able to see her oncologist and get the newest treatment plan in the works. She will be on a "drip" chemo (Avastin) this time, but she will be able to do her treatment here in Oklahoma. She also gets somewhat of a break and only goes to MD Anderson every 2 months for testing. She will not start the new treatment for 2 more weeks so as to allow complete healing. She is feeling great.

Avastin has just recently been FDA approved in the treatment of GBM and is showing great results. Dr. Gilbert informed them of the side effects, which are around 5%.

Jan wanted me to relay that as far back as she can remember she has been praying for God to take the tumors away. She just never thought it would be through surgery.

Please join us in praising God for these great results.

It was awesome to hear the joy in Jan's voice when I talked to her after getting this report!

Have a great weekend!

~Prayer & Praise~

Jan returns to MD Anderson this week to follow up with the surgeon and hopefully the pathology results will have returned and she can get started on the next phase. She is feeling really good, especially since she is not on treatment. She has done fantastic since her surgery. Thanks for all your prayers!

All I've done lately is making jewelry. I've started a new blog for the jewelry. I've been talking with a little boutique near my house. They are going to a weekend trade show (like in Canton, Texas), but this one is in McKinney, Texas this next weekend and they are taking my jewelry with other items in their boutique. They are working to get into Canton weekend trade show as well. I'm pretty excited, but cautious as well.

Have a great Monday!!
