Journal entry by Joe Block

Dear Family and Friends, we have some great news to share.  Marian had her CT scan yesterday and we were given the results today.  Her scan was clear, and we are so grateful for all of your prayers and support.  Even Dr. Nik gave her a great big smile.  Even with all of that great news Dr. Nik wanted Marian to go do blood work as her white count is still very low as well as her ability to fight off infection.  More good news on both of these counts as well.  Although not totally in the normal range, both have moved up and are getting closer to the normal range.   Again we are grateful.  These scans are always stressful and every time we go into the office there are so many folks fighting so hard against this terrible disease.  

We met a nice couple, Brian and Amanda, and Amanda is fighting a GlioBlastoma.  It is always such a intense conversation when people start to share their journey.  They are believers and we shared we would pray for them.  Brian is scared he may loose her and Amanda is still fighting, but feels like a different person.  This is why we are so grateful.  We do not take anything for granted anymore.  I try to be more patient and loving (not my forte) because life is short and very precious.

We give praise and glory to our Lord and we continue to covet your prayers.

Love Joe
