This is a quick update with more to follow later this weekend. I just finished chemo and I am resting. The PET/CT scan shows the disease is progressing. The disease now involves the lymphatic system and the bone & liver cancer continue to grow. We are changing chemo protocols.

A friend asked me “wouldn’t the cancer ’seeds’ have been in your lymph system already, for it to have spread to your liver and spine.” It is a great question. What I have learned today is cancer spreads through either the lymphatic and/or vascular system. Due to node negative state of the original tumor and all nodes have been clean & clear throughout the prior studies; it is believed my cancer was proliferating via the vascular system until now.

Please know we are never alone. Today at chemo after getting the news I was feeling sorry for myself. One of the patients came to me . It seems her young niece and friends wanted to do something for other patients. They made bookmarks with encouraging verses. I looked at her and said thank you - God had a message for me today. She asked me to read through them and pick one I liked. I told her God knew which one I needed. I said a prayer, closed my eyes and picked. Here it is:

Trust in the LORD with all your heart: do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6
