Dear family and friends,
Praise God for His wondrous works! We received wonderful and encouraging news this week! Rob had a CT scan done on Tuesday, the first one of the tumour in his abdomen since being diagnosed with cancer. We were a little apprehensive of the results but we hoping and praying for positive results. Our doctor came in on Wednesday and told us that the scan shows that the tumour is reduced by more than 50%! Wow! We didn't know what to expect, but this again reminds us of the power of prayer and even more so the power of our Almighty God!
Chemo is scheduled for Monday again and it makes us happy to continue on with that. Rob did so well with his last treatment and it is our prayer that this time too the side effects will be minimal. The doctors are really pushing now for Rob to increase his mobility and strength so they can send him home. There is no target date yet as Rob still has the chest tubes in, and we are all hoping that with this next chemo treatment his lung drainage function may improve and the tubes be removed. The medical team thinks this is a realistic expectation as it did improve after the last treatment, but there is no guarantees. We ask for your prayers in that regard as this will greatly help Robs mobility too.
Rob is feeling much better these last two weeks, which we are all so thankful for! There are still so many unknowns but God has been so faithful and merciful to us and we continue to trust in Him as we go forward day by day.
