Some good news

Hello to all,

We found out today that the CA125 blood test which is a measure for ovarian cancer (although somewhat inaccurate as a diagnostic tool) has dropped from over 900 prior to the last chemo treatment to 136 as of yesterday. The normal level is 35 and under.

In the words of Nick's oncologist brother, Dr. Andrew, "This is extremely good news." It does suggest that the treatment is working well.

We give praise to Jesus, our healer, and the countless family and friends who continue to take us before God's throne and plead our case. I am about and hour away from finishing my second treatment and all has gone well.

The doctor agreed to increase my dose of chemotherapy this cycle because of my good health. If this trend continues over the next few weeks my CA125 could even reach normal levels!

Thank you for all the prayers they are being heard and answered. God is not dead, he's alive.
(Good movie by the way if you are wanting something to watch this weekend!)  We are greatly encouraged and will continue this fight.

Love, Lee
