Good news?

Well, we got the results Monday. They weren't what we were expecting, but in some weird way, part of it was better. We were sitting there in the exam room. Dr. McCanless comes in, says that the tumor is 5 X 7. He looks back and sees that it started out that size-not the news we wanted to hear, the tumor hasn't shrunk at all! But for those of us glass half full people, it hasn't grown either. Then he goes back to his chart to let us know how the tumor between the lungs on the lymph nodes has done.................He flips thru the charts again.......................The tumor between the lungs on the lymph nodes is GONE! Not what we expected, but way better! So now we go thru at least 2, maybe 3 more rounds of chemo. The good thing now is b/c the lymph nodes is cancer free, he now is a candidate for radiation if the results aren't good after the rest of the chemo. Once again, God is in control! He knows just what we need to hear, not what we want to hear! Keep praying, it's not over yet!
