This is FANTASTIC!

We just returned from the oncologists office. The news is FANTASTIC! So we somehow kept our CT Scan and MRI appointment that was scheduled as a follow up to chemotherapy (they usually don't do a scan for 2 months after you start taking the targeted therapy drugs).  The baseline scan that we had about a month ago shows the tumors as they were before he started targeted therapy.  Bruce's air ways were almost completely blocked by the tumors. The scan that was taken on Friday shows that after just  2 and 1/2 weeks of targeted therapy, the tumors that were blocking his airway are gone! Yep poof gone! Many of the tumors are gone. In fact there are only little spots left! This is really amazing! The Doc said take whatever Julie (the nurse practitioner) says and multiply it by 4 that is how good this news is! Oh my! Oh my! Oh my!

By way of explanation Bruce will have to take the targeted therapy drug for as long as it continues to work. Also should they stop working there is the new immunotherapy therapy drug that he could take. Remember lung cancer is not curable at this point, however, new treatments are coming out all of the time and as one nurse told us lung cancer is not curable but targeted therapy just melts the cancer it is amazing and....

GRATITUDE is what we are feeling right now in a big way! This has happened as a blessing from our Heavenly Father thru your faith, fasting and prayers!! In other words it is a MIRACLE!! Thank you so much to each one of you for your fasting, faith and prayers, to the awesome Doctors who have spent their lives researching and finding these incredible medicines, and most of all to Heavenly Father for the Priesthood, and the blessings that He has given us! Love to you all!!!
