July 1 update
Dear Friends,
Can you believe it is July already? We can hardly believe that almost twelve weeks have passed since we heard those fateful words: “you have lung cancer’. What an ‘interesting’ twelve weeks we have experienced!
First and foremost, we are overwhelmed with thankful hearts for each of you that have taken the time to call, email, or write. What an encouragement and blessing that has been for us. And, there have been many days when your words have come at the exact, precise moment that we needed a little ‘nudge’ . . . and God used your words to remind us that HE IS in control!
Sam is feeing great! He continues to work everyday and has maintained his same schedule since before the diagnosis! My biggest problem is trying to slow him down to rest more! He does experience some fatigue in the evenings, however, they have told us to expect this as a side-effect from two of the medications he is taking. Every two weeks he flies to the Burzynski Clinic in Houston, TX to receive an infusion treatment.
We are scheduled to be in Dallas and Houston the week of July 10th. At that time he will have all new scans taken and, hopefully, we will have results within a week, showing the response of all of the treatments. Sam has been so faithful to the ‘every-two-hour’ medications, his special/limited diet, various supplements, and of course, the various targeted cancer therapy drugs they are giving. Please continue to pray with us as we are trusting God for a great report!
Next week we are flying to Sacramento, CA, where we will both be speaking at a Home School conference for the Institute here. Sam will be teaching on finance and is quite excited about sharing again. We had cancelled previous engagements due to the treatments, but he is eager to get back out there sharing God’s ways of handling money!
Thank you once again for reaching out to us. You have blessed our lives in ways we never dreamed possible. We continue to walk in ‘blind faith’ regarding our future right now . . . living in total abandonment to God . . . not such a bad place to be!! Thank you again for your prayers . . .that means more than anything to us right now!
Love in Christ,
Sam & Ann
