Amy had her quarterly MRI today, and the news is good. Amy's brain looks fine--and actually, better than the last MRI. The affected area that could either be cancer cells or simply scar tissue ("the misty cloud") has actually shrunk a little. So that's good. The other news: she'll be taken of the chemo in April. That'll improve Amy's quality of life considerably. That said, the reason for taking her off the chemo has to do with likelihood of diminishing returns: i.e., after two years on chemo, the negatives of being on chemo begin to outweigh positives. So, effective April, no more chemo--but we'll begin to see what happens when she's not on it. But that's the future, and future prayer requests. At the moment, we're very happy to see the old misty cloud start receding, and look forward to life without the chemo-induced fatigue and nausea each month. Thank you for your prayers!
Love, Jeff, Amy, Ben and Lauren
