Dan started cycle 6 of chemotherapy this week—hard to believe we are already three months into treatment. While the side effects are never easy, we are grateful for the good days and the many special opportunities made possible by friends and family.
The most recent lab results were encouraging, with tumor marker numbers continuing to fall. In fact, this week’s results showed they were within the normal range (~4,400 > 34). We continue to pray for miraculous healing and, while the oncologists cannot promise a cure, we are also praying for long-term remission. After cycle 7, Dan will undergo repeat imaging, which will help determine the right timing for transitioning to oral therapy.
We cannot thank you enough for your prayers and unwavering support. Dan often says that experiencing such love and encouragement is a blessing he wishes more people could know in their own lives. Thank you for making this summer about so much more than cancer treatments—we are truly grateful.
