More tests have been done and the results are in. The cancerous tumor in my mom's stomach has been reduced by about 50%. This is better than we could have hoped for. The oncologist called my mom personally to tell her the good news. In his words he said that to reduce the tumor by that much with her type of cancer is like cutting a billiard ball in half, as opposed to an orange.
The news gets better still. The cancer in her liver is gone. The permanent lesions from the cancer are mostly gone as well. The doctor said, "That sort of thing doesn't happen. This is truly remarkable."
Thanks to all of you who have prayed for my mom. You will never know how much your prayers have meant to me, to my family, and especially to my mom. Your prayers have brought peace, comfort, hope, and more time.
Thank you.
