Hi Everyone,
Let me start by again saying thank you to everyone who has supported us in so many ways and to let you know what a difference it makes to have you behind us.
Since my last post we have had the results from the CT scan. We had hoped to get these before Easter but that didn't happen until last Wednesday. Overall the results seem to say that everything is stable. So no real change from the last scan. Although this is good in so much as the disease appears to be not increasing, it is obviously disappointing that things are not reducing as we expected.
The sore and upset tummy was again a problem over Easter for Sonja but we were able to get this under control quicker with different medications.
After meeting with the oncologist 2 days ago, it would seem that this is a complicated case and as such a larger team of specialists will be reviewing Sonja's results and her case in general to determine the best plan to go forward. The chemotherapy for today has been deferred until they meet with us again a week from today. We both feel this is right as there is no doubt that the treatment takes a lot out of Sonja and if it's not the cause entirely of the nausea and tummy problems, then it certainly makes that worse and more difficult to tolerate.
We especially appreciate your prayer support over the next week as we have a couple more tests to get done and then for results which we should have by Friday.
Please pray for: wisdom for the great medical team who manage Sonja's case.
Sonja's tummy to remain settled and for her appetite to increase.
Strength and peace for Sonja and us all as a family.
The miracle that we need to come soon for Sonja to completely recover.
Thanks again to you all,
Denis.
