No Treatment in 2008!!!

Well, the results are in from my tests last week. The suppressed Tg is now down to 6.8! It has steadily declined since my latest round of radio-iodine treatment last summer. In Aug'07 the Tg was 9.9, and dropped to 8.5 in Dec'07.

Based on the results, I will not need treatment this summer! The doctors will continue to monitor my progress, and the next follow-up is in six months. While I am excited to have a summer to enjoy for the first time since 2004, I realize that I am not "cancer-free" and further treatment at some point in time is certainly possible.

I want to thank everyone who has supported me during the last three years through fervent prayer, cards, encouraging Scripture, meals, and so much more. It has been truly amazing to see the outpouring of God's love on His children in their time of need.

1 Peter 5:6-7

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:

Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
