We're proud of all our kids. Each one of them has distinguished his or her self in some way. They're all very good people.At left is Vann and Phillip in front of the memorial.
Vann had his third CT scan today, and we were pretty happy with the results. Because of Vann's recent abdomenal pain, Dr. L. wanted to check to see if the cancer had spread. If it had, he planned to changed Vann's treatment. Well the cancer HAD NOT spread. Praise God! But since Vann's tumor markers are up, Dr. L decided that he would change the treatment to a drug called Abraxane (I think that's how you spell it). The doc told us that in trials, this drug had shown promising results with pancreatic cancer.
So we are still trusting God, knowing that he works for good in the lives of those who love him.
We can't say "thank you" too many times, or even enough, for all your prayers and good wishes. Please keep them up. We love you all.

Good news that the cancer has not spread, but darn those tumor markers. Hopefully the change in treatment protocol will be beneficial.
Susan, you know I earnestly pray for you. But, I want you to know that my heart is full with empathy for what you two are experiencing.
