Mike had a follow up visit with Dr. Aljumaily today. After reviewing his scans with a radiologist, the area in his upper left lobe was deemed to be inflammation and not cancer progression. Some areas of cancer have gotten so small they are no longer measurable on imaging! Because of this, he did not have a PET/CT performed. Mike is receiving steroids for the inflammation and is taking a much enjoyed "chemo-holiday" in order to enjoy the rest of the holiday season. No treatment until 1/6/19 and his next set of routine scans will be 1/22/19.

We are incredibly thankful for so many things, including:
- Mike can breathe so much better now
- He can eat and taste food 
- More time
- The freedom to celebrate Jesus with family and friends
- A medical team that caught this and acted quickly
- A God who is both good and kind during all of the different roller coaster of emotions
