PRAYERS CONTINUED TO BE ANSWERED

Today's update is good news. I just returned home from MDA and all the prayers are working and continue to be answered. I am pleased with my new doctor (Dr. Hamda) and that is one prayer that was answered. After my other Dr. moved to Vanderbilt I was concerned about who I would be assigned to. Dr. Hamda is very atune to everything and I appreciate his style of "doctoring".
I started my visit with lab work and the drawing of blood. Next, it was on to the MRI center where I laid still for exactly one hour. Almost fell asleep while in that tube but the last 20 minutes were the toughest as I had to go to the bathroom badly.
Next it was on to the nutritionist where I was told to reduce my calorie intake 500 calories daily. This may be harder than the side effects of the medication.
After a brief ice cream stop (just kidding it was a diet coke stop) it was on to the visit with Dr. Hamda. He had the results of the MRI already and showed me a before and current picture of the tumor. The tumor has decreased considerably and, Praise GOD, for the time being, they have taken surgery out of the picture. It is felt the remaining tumor can be reduced with the medication. They are increasing the cabergoline medication to 2 pills twice a week and increasing the synthroid to 112. Next visit will be in August.
Thanks to all of you who continue to keep me in your prayers...they continue to be answered. May God Bless each of you.

6 MONTHS ON MEDICATION

Heading to MDAnderson on Sunday for my appointments on Monday. They start early and continue till after lunch. I am anxious for the MRI reports to see if the tumor has shrunk into non existance. This will be the first MRI since discovery of the tumor back in September. I pray that the tumor will have completely been eliminated and that my blood work shows that my hormones, thyroids, and testosterone are beginning to produce on their own. I am feeling so much better and will be totally surprised if the above has not taken place. I thank God in advance for answering mine and hundreds of friend's prayers.
I've lost two special people this week, one a long time friend and mentor, the other, today, my aunt. I know that they are free from the pain and suffering they have had due to health problems and cancer and they are now looking down on all of us.
