Title: Laura Update
Post by: CypressSlough on February 17, 2008, 11:12:45 AM
Hey Guys, I haven't forgotten about ya'll. I have been so busy working trying to pay bills it's rediculous. Things are getting better though. Laura and the girls are doing very well. Laura underwent new tests 3 weeks ago. We got the results last week. Her tumor marker dropped from 140 down to 7, and 6 is normal. All of her tumors have shrank by at least half. A few of them are almost gone. Her doctor told us, she's had unheard of progress for 7 treatments. Matter of fact, he had them rerun all of the tests to be sure. The largest tumor shrank to 0.9mm. All the rest are even smaller. He also told us if she continues to improve this way, she would be cancer free in a very short time. He calls her his miracle patient. To say we are relieved is an understatement. Her doctor had been preparing us fro very little to no change. He just wanted to make sure the cancer wasn't spreading. Thank God for the advances in cancer treatment. For once, I actually feel like I'm not going to lose my wife.

Thanks for being here,

Brian.

That is awesome news Brian... I can't even imagine the huge sigh of relief that you have to be feeling. I hope that I never do have to experience it.
This set back will eventually become a very strong bonding agent in your and your wifes relationship :wink:

the man above answers prayers, some will tell you its the new methods of treatment not his will. its hard to explain that it was hsi will that allows the new metods. last may i was told i have prostate cancer with a psa of 390. went to my dr. on feb. 12 and was told my psa is now 0.35 now. they are continueing my hormone treatment and my radiation is over. yes i know GOD'S will has been done; no he isnt pu8nishing us. he is just giveing others a chance to show their faith. thanx for shareing your news.

I had it in my mind a time or two to stop in there on my way from Louisiana to the LBL, cause I hadn't heard from you and figured I might need to read the riot act to ya'll...... but it sounds like you kids have been doing just exactly what ya have supposed to be doing.

I'm very very happy for you, your misses, and the kids.  :highclap:
