I have been so busy with doctor appointments these last few weeks, I don’t know where to begin…. The results from the MRI of my back were negative for any structural problems. The results from the MRI of my brain were good. No signs of recurrence at this time. My oncologist ordered an MRI with contrast of my back just to rule out any issues there (the contrast highlights cancer). That MRI is scheduled for this coming Tuesday 1/19/10. I had my first chemo treatment yesterday 1/14/10. All things considered I think it went very well. I am feeling pretty good and very few side effects so far. A few days of rest and I plan to be good as new and maybe even back to work.
Thanks for all your prayers and encouraging emails and texts. They really do help! God continues to walk me through this time and I am constantly reminded of His faithfulness to us. Glory to Him always! Jeff
Thanks for keeping us updated, Jeff. I think of you daily. Keep up the good fight; you are an awesome example of strength & courage! You and your family remain in my prayers.
Hi Jeff! I was so glad to see your lovely Julie back on campus this week! My husband and I continue to pray for you and your family. I hope the chemo goes well and works miracles with no side effects! Our best wishes for your complete and rapid recovery are heartfelt and constant! Know that you are in His care and continue to be faithful and strong!!!! You are a hero! God Bless!

Hi Jeff! I hadn’t “checked in on you” in a little while, and I am so glad, so HAPPY, everything is going so well. You remain in my prayers, and God brings you to mind often! He IS amazing, and you give me strength and encouragement as I read about the strength you receive through trusting in His faithfulness.
Julie, you too, are now added to the prayers for healing for your back! And how exciting that you will be graduating in May. You are a hard-working girl!
God bless you both and your family abundantly. All praise and glory to the One who can do far beyond what we could ever dream to ask for.

Thinking about you and the family all the time, also checking the MBPD cars to see if your in one. Hang in there and we will all keep up the prayers that 2010 will bring you and Julie back to good health.
