October CT Scan Results

Hello Everyone!  It's with a HAPPY heart that I am writing this entry.  Chris had a CT scan yesterday and a doctor's appointment today.  We are happy to say that the tumors have not grown in the last seven weeks!  Dr. Pili was very pleased with these results.  Apparently, this is rarely the case.  For now, we will continue to wait and see what the tumors do over the next two months.  Dr. Pili doesn't want to put Chris back on a toxic treatment until it is absolutely necessary.  After Christmas, we will have another scan.  This will help us decide what action to take next.  We fully believe our change in eating habits, exercise, and our strong belief in faith are attributing to this wonderful change.  Thank you for all your loving support and prayers.  God is willing to listen to ALL our hearts!  We feel very blessed today.

I hope everyone is enjoying the autumn season.  Chris and I have enjoyed our first "non-volleyball" Fall.  It's been wonderful having him home and we've taken advantage of it.  We've been pumpkin and apple picking, something we've never been able to do because volleyball took up all Chris's time.

Our first anniversary is next month and we plan on celebrating to the fullest!  A lot has happened this year, but it certainly has put life into perspective.  Enjoy each day as it comes.  Be kind to those around you.  And try to look at the good in all situations.  God has a plan for all of us.  I love my husband more today than I did a year ago.  And as they say, the first year is the hardest.  I think Chris and I have proven that our love can withstand anything!

We love you all!  Continue to pray that Chris's body is fighting the disease and that God is willing to help us!  We are so thankful that He has put all of you in our life.  I've said it before and I'll say it again, it is because of you that Chris and I are getting through this!!

Much love, Teresa xo
