Today was very long. Krista’s daughter (Bob’s granddaughter) had a urinary scan at 10:00 that turned out good.
Bob had his MRI at 12:15. We met with the oncologist later.
The MRI shows that there is no additional malignant growth in the brain. There is a small reduction. Dr. Amin was encouraged with the results. This is a huge answer to prayer because Dr. Amin would not have advised that we proceed with any other treatment if there had not been a reduction. Thank you Lord!!! Thank you Lord!!!
The CT scans showed that there is some reduction in the growth in the lungs and the pelvic area. The concerning masses are in the liver and a couple others that have increased in size.
The fatigue is a problem at this point. They will be attempting to increase his energy level and then probably do another round of temodar chemo therapy. This is the only chemo available for metastatic melanoma. There is a new chemo for melanoma that was used in clinical trials, waiting the FDA approval that will probably be released in the Spring. Hopefully the temodar will control the growth until the release.
We know our Father knows all this and knows our desires. He will walk with us and guide us in the right direction. His love is more than we can comprehend. We pray our precious Father will use this for His glory and His alone. Our passion for Him continues.
Pray with us for a strengthening in Bob’s body. We continue to pray for complete healing as we know He is capable of.
We continue to petition the Lord of all for healing!

What an example you are!
If…you seek the LORD your GOD, you will find Him if you look for Him with all your heart and with all your soul.
