Day16: We didn't get the news that we were all praying for. In fact the results weren't even close. We were hoping for less the 5% blast cells (cancer cells) remaining but the cancer cells were still hiding out in the bone marrow and in some places they were as high as 80%. Of course we ask why? Job asked God the same question and God said to Job, "... did you create the universe?" Often He does not answer the way we want Him to. We have several options now. I can take another round of chemo and if that doesn't work there may be a new research therapy at the city of Hope. With the next round of chemo the percentage of success drops rapidly to just around 35% . In the spiritual world, however, we know God can rescue us in the 11th hour just so we know it is him. I have made the decision to start another round of chemo as soon as possible. I am doing this for my family friends and church body. I am just submitting to the will of God. I know He can heal me if that is His will. Thank you for you all your prayers and beautiful cards and letter...your love is holding me up right now "...we are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not despairing; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; 2 Cor. 4:8-9
