Hello All,
We left for the hospital about 7 am this morning and were there until about 6pm! Wow, what a day. I am really excited about what we heard today, but also concerned. The cancer that was in her liver, her uterus, and the other few hot spots in her abdomen are now gone! The mass in her face has shrunk, but still is a good size tumor. The doctor was happy, but then he said that her chance of total recovery in two years is 60 %, which still worried Pat and me. We have to stay positive and keep her in our prayers. I thanked God so much today for all of his help so far. This also means that we get to move to Medford for chemo. I have to call tomorrow morning to get it set up for next Monday. It is still going to be about the same amount of chemo. He said that we will go strong on this cancer. In two months we will come back to Portland to get her scans done and see how everything is going. Shane also had his blood drawn today. If he matches Jess at least 6 points out of 12 he will need to be back up in Portland for a lot more tests and various other things to see if he could be a donor. I need to get going. I am all worn out and we are trying to go home tomorrow.
Love you all,
Cindi
That's wonderful news about the tumors all being gone except for the one, gives us all a smaller area to concentrate our prayers on. :) Luv you Jessi & Jonathan...Hang in there!

This was on our church's prayer chain and on Facebook, but Jonathan has a lot of concerned friends and family that only get their updates on this Blog, and they anxiously check it every evening to see how Jessi's day went, so thought I would post this here too.
ReplyDelete"We just received word that all of her tumors with the exception of one are completely gone. The doctors seem to be very positive still. She will begin having her chemo in Medford now, so this will help Jon and Jessi both. They are tired of Portland and running back and forth.
They are hanging in there pretty good. Jon stays by her side and helps take care of her pics and makes sure she takes her meds, which she dislikes. Not a pill person. They are still newlyweds, holding hands and whispering. So, they are doing good.
Thank you all for your continued prayers, we still have a long way to go!" Cheri
