November 8 — Scan results!
Dear Friends,
We just returned last night from an eight-day trip to Dallas and Houston for scans, exams and various appointments with doctors! This was Sam’s first scan in over three months, and once again, the doctors are quite happy with the results. There has been NO further growth or spreading of his tumor! That is truly an amazing answer to prayer!!
We spent a lot of ‘one-on-one’ time with the doctors at the Burzynski Clinic in Houston. They explained to us that Sam has one of the MOST aggressive and serious forms of cancer . . . . and it does NOT sit still for six months, as his has!
Sam has been assigned to a new doctor who is an internal specialist and is from Nicaragua. After studying the scans and giving Sam a physical exam, he looked at him and said: “God must have something special for you to do here, as you are so healthy and your cancer is not spreading at all . . . He must have heard some prayers”. We told him that many were praying on Sam’s behalf . . . .he just smiled & said that he thinks they “are working”!!
Sam will no longer have to fly to Houston twice a month for the infusion treatment, (which was costing over $10,000 per month!). He is now on a new cancer drug that is ‘only’ $7,000 per month, (that is in addition to his current ones, which are $7,800 per month). God is able!
Once again, we say thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Knowing that you are praying for us and standing with us in this trial is such an encouragement. We truly do not know how to express what it means to have friends like you supporting us through this journey. We want to be faithful to all that God has placed in our hands with this, and not waste one second of this cancer journey. Knowing you are walking with us keeps us going!
Love & prayers,
Sam & Ann
What an answer to prayer, to learn of the results of Sam’s MRI, PET scans and blood work. We are once again reminded “He” is in control and “He” is able to deliver and heal Sam.
We hope our small token of love will help with some of your costs. We keep you in prayer always.
Love,
The Skinner’s
Praise the Lord!! This is wonderful news! We continue to pray…
This is great news! You all are in my prayers!
I’ve been asking the Lord Jesus to give Sam health and strength and extended time here to accomplish more for His kingdom to His praise and honor. I also pray that He would strengthen and encourage both of you in the purposes He is working out through your lives as well as in the joyous hope we have now and even more so in the days ahead! What an encouragement it has been to read your reports and your walk of faith with the Lord. Keep looking up to Him and reaching out to others!
Yours in Christ,
David Buob
