Update on Ruth

Ruth was supposed to have her 4th chemo treatment yesterday (Wednesday) however plans have changed. Ruth has been having severe pain for a few days- since last week. She went in for her chemo treatment and the doctor ordered a CT scan instead. The results of the CT scan came back very quickly however they did not bring great news. The scan showed spots on the liver. Unfortunately all of her recent blood tests came back looking good and she has been feeling great until recently so there was really no indication that this was a problem. Needless to say we are all very discouraged, however we remain to put our faith and trust in God.
Ruth will have her 4th chemo treatment on Friday- tomorrow with a new drug- Gemzar as they will try something different. They will order another CT scan after 2 treatments of Gemzar to see if it is working.

Thanks for your prayers.

  1. Ruth,
    Tuesday I was planning to come in and sit with you...but tax day took its toll and it was late afternoon before I knew it. I was sad to not be there but lifted you up in prayer. Today on the way to work I didn't see your car at school...wondered, but then thought I may have just missed it. Then tonight, I decided to check, what has been a recently inactive blog, and this! But Ruth, we know God is Good and God is Sovereign and that He loves you, and Bob, and Sarah, as do I. So let us join together in rejoicing in His love and praying for your healing. Let us put our faith in Him!

    Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that you will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Ro 15:13)
