February Scan Results

Dear Friends,
 

We have returned from our Dallas/Houston trip with heavy hearts.  The scans have shown that there are three small metastases on Sam’s spine.   The tumor in his lung has had a slight increase in size and there are two lymph nodes by the tumor that are showing cancer activity now.  
 

Just writing these words to you brings a flood of emotions!!   We know and understand that God is in complete control.   I could write pages of how we are seeing God at every turn, and how He is actually using this in so many ways . . . however . . . this is not an easy journey.
 

We are now faced with so many new decisions.   We want to hear from God more than anything and follow His plan for us.    Right now, we have a tiny ‘window’ of time before we have to make any decisions, as there are many blood tests that will not be back for almost two weeks.   After they have the results from them, they will try to lay out a protocol for our next steps.   In the meantime, we are looking into other treatments available, but most of all, we are seeking God’s direction for us.   It is so easy to be swept into the ‘normal procedures’ of cancer treatments, and we want to be sure of God’s direction for us right now.
 

Once again, we thank you for standing with us these months!!   We have FELT your prayers . . . I don’t know where we would be today without them.   Will you please pray for us as we are researching, contacting various doctors, calling, and all that goes along with this?   We need God’s wisdom and discernment as we are faced with so many decisions into the ‘unknown’.    I love the statement that Corrie Ten Boom said:   “Do not be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God’.   
 

We ARE trusting!!   Thank you for your friendship and your prayers.  
 

We appreciate and love you.
 

Sam & Ann

    Sam and Ann,
    Words and “christian cliches” seem trite with this new news. We are so very sorry. The only thing that seems right to say is a truth you already know. God is not surprised, and you are in the hollow of his hand. The only hope we have is in Him, and in that hope we must rest. I know my own personality - the resting part is the hard part. We’ve not had to face what you faced with Kristen and now this. We promise to pray and have you put on the churches prayer list.
    We will tell our kids too so they can be praying.
    Ann, you were such a blessing to us when you came to
    speak at our retreat a couple years ago. Maybe in time you could write a book. Then you could encourage alot of women without all the traveling.
    Just a side note. We have a new pastor, Bryan Ferrell. He is 36 and a doctoral candidate at the Master’s Seminary. We absolutely love him and his family. He is exactly what we needed. I still have to pinch myself at times to believe the “gift” God gave us in him.
    God Bless You and Keep You,
    Love,
    Jim and Vicki

    It cannot be ignored, that nearly all Breast Cancer Tumors occur in the upper outer quadrant of the breast area, this is where the Lymph Nodes are located..
