Scan Results 5/5/09 (Miracle is the word)

Today, Tuesday May 5th, 2009 the scan results basically show NO MORE!. I want to thank God for this miracle! Thomas has 1 tumor that is still measurable, located in the chest near the esophagus. It was 3 mm when this bout began over a year ago, today it is 1.5 mm which once tumors get less than 1 mm the doctors consider them no longer a concern. All but one of the 15 or so melanoma tumors Thomas had throughout his torso and brain are considered non-existent.

He has gained back to 225 lbs, a growing boy, ha-ha! and is continuing to work full time. He will continue on his every 3 month cycle, scans and MRI's on Monday, results on Tuesday and his treatment the same afternoon for the rest of his life. What ever this miracle drug they are giving him along with God's healing power, Thomas is doing great.

We still continue to pray that his body will continue to accept this treatment and continue to keep his immune system a working army against this enemy. Thankfully his returning to Tennessee to be with family and getting care from his cancer doctors here, his attitude by far, and the most important, God's miracle power of healing, I'm sure has been Thomas' salvation.

I think Thomas understands that today is the beginning and tomorrow is not to be worried about. He will continue fighting and as long as his treatments keep his immune system boosted he will control this ugly beast. We also know that as long as God's love embraces him he has the most powerful source on his side.

I have told Thomas for years of what a success he will be and has become and again success is his! HURRAH FOR THOMAS!! As Thomas said, "The Big Man upstairs must have a plan for me!

May life be filled with continued success and may life have many blessings for you all.
Keep Thomas in your prayers and thank you all for being such a great support.
