Totally not expected...

Today we got Darell's PET scan results. It was a total shock to find out the Radiologist Doctor determined his test to say his cancer is in remission. We have a copy of the report and he typed the word "remission" free from Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma cells. In fact the size of what we now know is scare tissue is smaller this month then it was last month. God is good.

We were very scared about the urgency that was put on getting the test done and the blood working show high red cell counts. I asked about the cell count today and we were told the red cells that were high are ones that would show active lymphoma activity in the body. Well in Darell's case he is not sure why it would be high and the PET not showing any cancer but the PET has the finally say. He is still not out of woods but he is on the right track. He can now say he is a cancer survivor!

So glad to hear the good news about Darell's test results. The bible said that the name of the Lord is a strong tower that the righteous run to and are safe. Keep hiding in Him for He is faithful! Blessings to you all.
