Doctors visit

Julie had an appointment today to see her doctor to get an update on her progress. Julie happily reported to him that she has been breathing well and feeling healthy with the break from chemo. He told us that "clinically speaking" everything indicates that the chemo is working, because the tumor is no longer obstructing her air passageway and he couldn't feel a lump in her liver anymore. So, we are cautiously optimistic. We will know more definitively what is happening when they perform another pet scan after the next round of chemo. They will also know how well the treatment is helping her body absorb the blood clots in her legs and lung.

The prayers of so many have kept Julie upbeat, positive and thankful to the Lord. Now she can concentrate on being the mom of the bride-to-be this weekend and she'll be stylin with her new dress and accessories. (But I just don't get why she needed 4 new pairs of shoes)

Thank you very much for your love, support and encouragement. There really is the power of life in words. Love, Greg

I am so excited for the positive doctor's visit. I am praying that the tumors are shrinking. Enjoy Betsy's wedding. I really wish that I could be there for it.
