Greetings!!
Thank you once again for your prayer support! We have truly experienced supernatural peace . . . in the midst of circumstances that are totally out of our control . . . we are experiencing PEACE!!

As we walked into the Burzynski Clinic in Houston three weeks ago, I looked at Sam and asked him what he was ‘feeling’ at that moment . . . he replied: “An overwhelming sense of God’s Peace”. I had the exact same ‘feeling’! And, we experienced it every day through all of the treatments! We know it is the power of prayer, and we thank you for interceding for us.

They immediately started Sam on a gene therapy treatment program which was designed for his specific cancer, based on MANY tests. We stayed in Houston for 16 days, where Sam was monitored during daily treatments. We will continue this treatment regime for 90 days, (which consists of Sam taking medication in the form of pills and liquid every TWO hours!!). He will be flying to Houston every two weeks for an infusion treatment.
After that time, he will have all of the scans repeated and they will evaluate his progress, and future treatment will be determined based on the results. Sam is feeling great and the only side effects so far are an acne-like-rash.

Right now we are in a ‘wait and see’ time. A time that God is teaching us more about trust, faith and His incredible, supernatural peace. One thing that has ministered to us in a very special way, is the book by Larry Burkett, “Nothing to Fear . . . The Key to Cancer Survival” It has almost felt like Larry left us a manual to follow! One quote I love:
“….the circumstances don’t have to be reasonable, or even understandable, for us to have God’s peace. You don’t have to have a cure or be assured that you’ll live for a long time in order to have peace from God. If that were true, the peace wouldn’t have to come from God; it would simply come as a result of good circumstances.” Right now, our circumstances are anything but ‘good’ . . . and yet . . . we have PEACE!! God is good!

Thank you again for standing with us. We are humbled by your love for us, and cannot begin to express what your friendship, love and prayers mean to us! Experiencing the Body of Christ in such a powerful way has given us so much hope and encouragement. Thank you again for being willing to stand in the gap for us! We are praying for you too!

In His Love,
Sam & Ann

Dear Friends,

Thank you so very much for your calls, cards, encouraging words . . . and most of all for your prayers for us at this time.    We have truly felt your prayers!  This has been quite a journey and yet, we are experiencing wonderful peace in the midst of the ‘ups & downs’ of each day.

After our trips to Dallas and Charlotte, where we were consulting with several wonderful Oncologists, and much prayer regarding treatment, we are flying to Houston this afternoon to begin treatment at the Burzynski Clinic.

Surgery for Sam is out of the question, due to the location of the cancer.   We have looked into many other options, however, he is also not a candidate for any of them for the same reason.   We have extensively researched the Burzynski Clinic, and have total peace that this is God’s direction for us right now. 

The treatment is considered ‘alternative’, however, is FDA approved for trials at this clinic.   We will meet with the doctor’s tomorrow morning, (Wednesday), at 8:00 AM.   At that time they will design a treatment plan for him.    The treatment is given by IV’s usually and is given three times daily for approximately two to four weeks, until it is regulated.   There are virtually no side effects.  God has opened the door for us to stay with some friends in the Houston area . . . a HUGE blessing for us!!    

Please continue to hold us up in your prayers as we begin a new phase of this journey.   We know that God is directing our steps and is complete control of our future.   Thank you once again for holding us up in prayer during this time . . . there are no words that are adequate to tell you what that means to us.

Praising God for each of you!

Sam & Ann
