A Burden is Lifted

Billy had his blood work and CT scan on Monday and we got the results today. Everything looks good! There is one cancer marker that was not zero but his doctor feels that this is probably hormone related. Once his testosterone levels are back to normal he thinks that marker will return to zero. He will have to have blood work, a CT scan, and a chest x-ray every three months for the first year as a precaution. When the doctor left the room to write Billy's prescriptions, we wept tears of joy as we thanked our Heavenly Father for His mercy. We know God has used this season in our life for very specific reasons and we thank Him for those we are aware of as well as those we aren't aware of yet.

We cannot thank all of you enough for your faithfulness in praying for Billy. We also are so very thankful for the love you have shown us. We have actually thanked God and continue to thank God for the cancer because we have grown so much because of it!
