Well, the time has finally come!
After a year, Mike took his last round of chemotherapy and immunotherapy on December 23. He had an MRI yesterday to make sure everything is still stable, and his doctor says everything looks great. So he is finished with treatment and only has to go to Houston every two months to get his MRI scans. As time passes and God continues to bless him with stable scans, he will be able to stretch those visits to every three months, then six, and so on.
I will update this site if anything changes, but I am praying you will not have to hear from me here again! Mike is a miracle, and we give God the glory for this gift that he has more time to spend with his loved ones. He was given the blessing of having fantastic doctors, and we truly believe that the power of prayer is that special something that has brought him through this journey. We are so thankful for your prayers and concern.
With so much love and thanks,
Rhea
