Hello! 

I hope this message finds you all enjoying life and feeling peaceful with where God has you right now. That is how I am feeling these days. I am so thankful for the relative good health I have and that I can live an active, full life. I recently found this article online (see link below) that really does a good job of explaining Neuroendocrine Tumors (NETs) and what it is like to live with them. I am thankful for the experience and perspective of this woman, who is a few years further down the road with this type of cancer. I could relate to a lot of her experience, as our treatments are nearly identical, and we even have the same team of doctors at UChicago Medicine.  Anyway, I wanted to share the article, because I learned a lot, and it put words to some of what I've been feeling. Give it a read if you have a few minutes!

Right now, I am waiting on the team in Chicago to review my latest PET scan and MRI to see if anything needs to change with my current treatment plan. The tumors appear to be stable or shrinking, which is great news. There is some excess fluid in my liver, so we'll see if they recommend doing anything about that...

In the meantime, I am busy with work at Timber Ridge, helping to coordinate a class about missions with my church and community, and small group Bible study. God is so good, and I am so thankful! 

As always, I appreciate the love and prayers, and take care until next time, 

Christy
