Update

Here is an update on Becky.  The CA125 (that is an enzyme that is a cancer marker.  With ovarian cancer it is a very good indication of the presence of cancer cells.)  for Becky has been stable at 34 for the past two months.  That is good because anything below 37 is considered normal.  The new regimen of chemotherapy has worked.  The doctor is considering stopping the chemotherapy for a while to see what happens.  The big danger with ovarian cancer is that it has a very high rate of recurrence.  Becky has now had three recurrences.  We are thankful that the chemotherapy worked and she is in remission.  Our prayer for now is that the cancer will not return.  We are also thankful that this new regimen is working so in the event that it does return we know that we can go back to that.  The side effects are minimal and that is another praise.

My daughter Michelle is still in Florida.  She has been clean for over two months now.  We are so thankful.  Everything is still really fragile.  We are praying that she will be able to find a job soon.  I think this will help her self esteem as well as giving her something to fill the time.  Continue to keep her in your prayers.
