Update On George

Thursday, we heard from George's 2nd scan, unfortunately the news was not as good as the news after the 1st scan.  While we were hoping for another reduction or at least no increase, apparently the cancer has become a little more aggressive and has increased about 6% over the scan at the end of April. This is still about a 19% reduction from where we originally started. There are still two areas of concern - lung and the liver.  The chemo treatments he has been taking apparently are no longer working as they did in the beginning.  So next week he will start a new chemo treatment which he will take for the next 9 weeks. Chemo for 2 weeks then off a week and will have 3 cycles of that and then they will rescan, while he has felt fairly well over the past few weeks, working most days and not having many side effects from the chemo. Please continue most of all to pray that this new treatment works and continues to reduce the tumors or masses and also pray that the side effects will continue to be minimal.  Pray for his spirit and his overall quality of life from day to day.  Matthew and I will be leaving for Centrikid Camp on Monday so pray for us too.  George and McKenzie will be camping at home together.  Thanks continue to lift us all up in your prayers.
