Hi Everyone!

I had my first MRI yesterday after the six weeks of combined radiation and chemotherapy treatments and both my Neurosurgeon and Neuro-Oncologist said, "That looks really good!" In general, the MRI at this point is used to establish a baseline for comparison with future MRI's every two to three months, but the fact that this one exhibits less swelling and possibly even tumor non-growth or reduction is absolutely wonderful. Please keep me in your prayers, they're having an impact!

Overall, things are just much better than predicted. Last week and this week were supposed to be the most difficult with the side effects from radiation, but I'm really stronger, altert and more active than most. (I'm still working out and I think it really helps.) Additionally, my chemo treatments will now be suspended for two weeks and then I'll have them only the first five of every 28 days. With that reduction I'll be feeling even better.

I'm excited about spending more time with my family, rather than sleeping, and getting more involved with my customers again. I'm also interested in putting together a class for the Fall reviewing the claims of "The Da Vinci Code". Now that I'm done with seminary I need to pass along a few things I learned!

PRAYER REQUEST

Thanks again to everyone for their love, support and prayers. I really believe in my heart that all of your support boosts my spirit in ways that really strengthens me and consequently my body. I'm learning more every day how God uses people to bring us stregnth and healing and it really means a lot. If you can, please continue your prayers for the next 10 weeks until my next MRI because that one will be an important confirmation that everything is moving in the right direction.

God Bless everyone of you!

Scott & Michele
