Results
As you know, we had our doctor appointment at Roswell today. It was a confusing appointment because the results of the CT scan varied. The small tumors in Chris' lungs shrunk. However, the lymph node on his wind pipe has continued to grow. Therefore, Dr. Pili would like to hold treatment for two months to monitor the lymph node. We will hope and pray that Chris' immune system will continue to fight the tumors and possibly get them to shrink or stop growing. While this isn't the news we hoped for, we are happy that some of the tumors did shrink. Please continue to pray for healthy progress because we will be back at Roswell in October for another CT scan. In the meantime, we are going to continue living with a positive attitude and enjoy life! Thank you so much for all your continued love and support. It means the world to the both of us. Love, Teresa

Praying as always with confidence in God's healing power. It would just be so much easier if he would tell us upfront what the journey ahead was going to be then these bumps in the road wouldn't be so hard to take. So glad you have the faith and positive attitude this journey requires. God bless you both. Aunt Suzie & Uncle Randy

ReplyDeleteYou keep getting curve balls thrown your way and each time you hit them out of the park anyway. Hit this one out of this universe! The best is yet to come... waiting is the hardest, but worth it! XXO
ReplyDeleteWe're glad to hear that there is some good news. It just gives us more time to light more candles! Keep giving it all you've got!
ReplyDeleteEverything will be all right in the end... if it's not all right then it's not the end.

Teresa and Chris,
ReplyDeleteWe're so incredibly happy and relieved that the lung tumors have shrunk; at the same time, we sure wish that the lymph node on Chris' wind pipe had shown better results. With all we've got, we remain incredibly hopeful and are praying that October turns up good news. Chris: You are an amazing, strong, wonderful person; we have ever confidence that you will fight this and put a halt to tumor growth even without the Sept. treatment. Teresa: You are an amazing, strong, wonderful person; we have every confidence that you will get Chris through this. If either of you need absolutely anything, we're here.
Love you!
Morgan & Michael

You are such an inspiration to everyone that knows you, Teresa. I know we don't often get time to chat in the hallways at AM but I want you to know there isn't a night I don't think and pray for you both. Your lives have touched so many and your story is one of love, hope, and faith. Never underestimate the power of prayer, it can do wonders. Thanks for the updates. I always look forward to hearing how you are both doing. Much love...
ReplyDeleteYou have been in my thoughts all day today, Teresa. I've been praying like crazy and I am happy to hear that you both received some hopeful/positive news! You're one step closer...stay strong.
