Journal entry by Holly Guilford

We rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.  Romans 5:3-5

Join us in thanking God for his healing hand.  He's got this.  Yesterday, Tom had a PET scan.  Today, we met with his oncologist to go over the results.  The scan was clear which means his cancer is gone and he is in REMISSION.  

For the next two years, he will have a CT scan every 3-4 months to check and make sure the cancer hasn't returned.  After 5 years of clear scans, he would be considered cured.  We are thankful that his energy level is so much better than it was, his hair is growing back, and his neuropathy is not as bad.

We are so grateful for the prayerful and thoughtful support of all our family and friends.  Feeling blessed!
