Cancer free -- way to be!

Gunter's scans were completely clear! No cancer, not even a spot! Thank you, Lord!

His hemoglobin (red blood cell count) was a little higher than normal, which the doctor thinks is a result of his bone marrow overcompensating for the chemo. So, the doctor's orders were for Gunter to donate a unit of blood this week and come back for a PET scan in 8 weeks. He doesn't think this is related to Hodgkin's and that the higher hemoglobin might be the cause of the itching he's been having for the last couple of months.

Sounds like good news to me! Thank you for your prayers! It amazes me how our BIG, merciful God listens to the earnest prayers of His people. I'm also amazed at how brothers and sisters in Christ are willing to lift each other up so faithfully.

I'm excited that the good things God is up to in our lives won't be stifled by cancer. But you know, God does great things through His people, cancer-free or not.
