We spent a few days in NYC and the weekend with our girls in Wintergreen, Va. Fellowship was great and weather was perfect at what most be close to the peak of Fall for this mountainous area of Virginia.
Cindy has no treatments this week and enjoying her break.
Teach me your ways, O Lord,
that I may live according to your truth!
Grant me a pure heart,
so that I may honor you.

Cindy completed her second chemo treatment.
Praise the Lord that the side effects have been minimal thus far.
It will still be a few weeks before we can test for measureable positive results.
We are going to NYC next week for some shows and shopping.
Thanks for everybody's continued concern for the family.
Whom have I in heaven but you?
I desire you more than anything on earth.
My health may fail, and my spirit may grow weak,
But God remains the stregth of my heart;
he is mine forever.
Psalm 73:25,26

Cindy's most recent PET scan revealed a new occurrence in her liver.
Her treatment options now require her to start a new chemo drug next week.
This drug will be given once a week for the next month or so.
If her side effects are manageable and the drug is effective in nuetralizing the disease then she can continue this course of treatment for the foreseeable future.
But each day the Lord pours his unfailling love upon me,
and through each night I sing his songs,
praying to God who gives me life. Psalm 42:8

Cindy has been enjoying a few months without chemo treatments since the first week in June. She has been feeling very good and gaining strength and energy.
She has been following a strict diet and taking Vitamin C infusions to boost her immune system recovery.
She will start Cranial radiation treatments this week.
They will last for about 14 days.
Please pray for her ability to successfully tolerate these treatments and their effectiveness.
Colleen leaves for Longwood University on the 18th.
Praise the Lord!
For he has heard my cry for mercy.
The Lord is my strength and shield.
I trust him with all my heart.
He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy.
I burst out in songs of Thanksgiving.
The Lord gives his people strength.
Lead them like a sheperd,
and carry them in your arms forever.
Psalm 28:6-9

Cindy had a ct scan last week which revealed no changes from her previous scan. The doctor wants to let her recover from chemotherapy for a spell.
She is going to have a bone scan this week to confirm no new activity there as well.
The doctor would like for her to visit a neuro-ocologist next week to schedule some radiation treatment. This would address any disease which might effect the central nervous system. Chemo therapy does not effect the central nervous system so this is a precaution to protect her further.
Colleen graduated on June 16th and Cindy celebrated her birthday on the 18th.
Please join us in prayer and worship for the Lord's provision.
Psalm 97
1 The LORD reigns, let the earth be glad;
let the distant shores rejoice.
2 Clouds and thick darkness surround him;
righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3 Fire goes before him
and consumes his foes on every side.
4 His lightning lights up the world;
the earth sees and trembles.
5 The mountains melt like wax before the LORD,
before the Lord of all the earth.
6 The heavens proclaim his righteousness,
and all peoples see his glory.
