The doctor turned his head back to the computer screen on the desk and read out the official words from the final radiology report: “The MRI shows no evidence of new or progressive tumor.”
Let it sink in… Good news. The very best we could have hoped for! These little growths, these that have so threatened for months now, these have showed themselves to almost surely be treatment effects. What a strange cancer world we live in that where success is measured in not dying today and side effects can provoke a sigh of relief. Oh, but what relief…
And Chase? He’s so funny… his hardest part was done yesterday when he woke up in post-op. The needle was removed and he could eat and that was it. And today, when we told him the news, he put his hands in his pockets, shrugged, and said “Oh. Good.” …as if he’d known all along. This boy, he takes it as it comes. And so will we. Oh, and tonight, it comes good and great with no fresh cancer news, answered prayer, and an MRI that can wait for three whole months instead of six weeks.
Good news… The very best we could have hoped for…
Moment by moment.
“This is the Lord‘s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes. This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.” Psalm 118:23-24
Praise God! We were praying for you and your little guy. We are so glad !
The Lord has done great things for us (you all) and we are filled with joy. A warm sigh of relief has engulfed all of us. God has shown that no odds can prevent His Sovereign choices. We celebrate with you.
Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His mercy endures forever!
There are no words. Just a heart of immense gratitude for this news for your family.
Praising God with you!
Little Chase, the Brevis, and Poole family are always on my mind and heart. I thank God for His healing and the peace that surpasses all understanding over your life. Still praying.
