Not Quite No Evidence of Disease…But So Close

Today Mike had his CT scan and follow up meeting with his oncologist. I am so thankful for FaceTime – because it allowed me to be a part of the meeting. And, this is one oncology meeting I am glad not to have missed.

Mike’s CT scan from today was compared to his CT scan from Aug. 19, 2019 (back when this all started). The enlarged lymph node under his left arm is no longer showing up. There is still cancer in esophagus but it is greatly reduced. The oncologist’s exact words were, “You’ve had an extraordinary response to treatment.”

Since Mike is responding so well – and is tolerating the treatment so well – it was decided that he will have 4 more chemo treatments. (The first of which was today.) The goal is to kill as much of what’s left as possible. Then, he will have a new scan and head to a radiation doc to discuss radiating the spots that were cancerous in order to destroy anything that could be remaining. Hallelujah!!!

I wish I could find the words to express just how I feel in this moment. I am humbled and grateful that Mike is being healed. One moment, I want to shout to the Heavens – and the next, I want to fall on my knees and cry. Most of all I want the world to know what God has done and is doing for us.

“I will praise You, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things You have done.” (Psalm 9:1)

Please join us in thanking and praising God for the wonderful news we received today!

  1. I’m a friend of Mike’s mom and have been praying for your family. So glad you have held on to your faith and belief that God can heal even when some doctors give up. God is so loving and awesome! I will continue to pray. God’s not done yet.
