Journal entry by Evelyn Isham

Oh Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you; I will praise your name; for you have done wonderful things, plans formed of old, faithful and sure (Isaiah 25:1)

I started my new treatment on January 31, which consisted of a 30 minute infusion every three weeks,  with a CT to be done after the third treatment.  That treatment was last Wednesday, Mar. 13. I had the CT done yesterday and got a text with the results last night at 8:30,  I saw a word I hadn't seen in a long time,  That word was DECREASE in size, indicating that the nodules they were comparing from my last scan have reduced their size by about 50%.  That is proof that the treatment is working!  All of my CT scans done at Duke showed slight increase in size.  So the word "decrease" was a sight for sore eyes.  I wanted to share this news with all my friends, family and prayer warriors.  You all are part of this good news because I know that God has heard our prayers.  

So far I have not had any troublesome side effects from the Avastin that I'm on,  God is faithful!

I have one prayer request to add - I am having a CT Angiography on Monday, Mar. 25 to look at the vessels around my heart. I have  a couple of risk factors which have been with me for several years.  I had a cardio ultrasound a couple of weeks ago, and everything looked good, This upcoming CT will take a closer look at the blood flow around my heart,   

Another positive note - my hair is coming back - albeit mostly gray and white.  As it gets long enough to color, I will probably be checking in with Miss Clairol,  or maybe I'll just keep it like it is.  

I know God's hand was in this and I'm praising Him for this blessing.
