~Jan's August Testing Results~

We just recently heard from Jan regarding her testing to see how the new treatment is working. Of the 2 areas of concern, the one area which Dr. Gilbert was "concerned about" when she started this treatment shows that there is no blood flow to the tumor, and the other area just shows scar tissue.

Jan's oncologist is very pleased with these results. The chemo is doing what it should be doing. They will return in September for their nexted scheduled testing.

Jan talked with her oncologist about returning to work on a part-time basis and he has given her the okay. Jan and I talked Friday and she doesn't have the headaches anymore, so this is very good as well. And, also, they are going to start tapering her off the steroids.

Thank you for joining us in praying for Jan. We are thrilled to have good results, along with the fact that she feels good and that she can start back to work which she has wanted to do for some time, as she has been quite bored.

Please continue to pray that this treatment will kill all the cancer cells, but also leave the good cells alone; pray for Jan as she starts back to work, that this will agree with her, but also that she will be mindful of her limits.
