Alyson's latest test results

There are times in each of our lives that rain falls, hard times come and it helps to reach out to our friends and to our God for a little support. This is the place to express those needs, concerns and situations so others in the AAPK family can keep you in their prayers.

Alyson's latest test results

Post by orvet »

Alyson had a CT scan on Monday April 1st. She got a call from the oncologist's physician's assistant yesterday. The PA would not say anything about the findings except what the doctor had written in his notes.
The findings were, one of the lesions on her liver had shrunk a little bit, but the other lesion had grown. Also they found three lesions in her lungs that were not there before.
The doctor said that obviously the medication she's on is not working. He gave her the choice of going on the first chemotherapy meds, actually two meds, that she had originally started on. They seem to be effective but the side effects are significantly more than the medication she is just been on. We will meet with the doctor next week and perhaps we will know more then.

Alyson and I had decided, before we ever got the results, that we would praise God no matter what the results were. Though the results are not what we wanted to hear, God is still in control, He is sovereign and nothing can change that. We will continue to praise and worship Him regardless of the outcome.

Thank you all for your prayers, we certainly do appreciate them and we can definitely use them.

God bless you all!

Your faith and positive attitude is inspiring. Especially with the less than positive news.

More prayers sent your way. God bless you both.

I'm sorry the news was not more positive Dale but you're right God is in control and He has a plan for everything and everybody.
Stay strong my friend and take comfort in God's word and His promises. Let Alyson know the prayer warriors are still praying
for you both.... ::pray::

Dale, both you and Alyson are still on my prayer list and will be until God's plan for all this is shown. It sure can get discouraging when His plan doesn't appear to follow ours, but ours would be what His is if we knew all He knows about us and how His perfect plan plays out. God only has our best interests in mind. I admire your faith and pray it will remain strong, and still pray for health and healing for Alyson._____Dave

So sorry Dale, I know this is not the news y’all wanted. Continued prayers for you both.

”What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.“
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭31‬-‭39‬ ‭KJV‬‬
“There are things in the old Book which I may not be able to explain, but I fully accept it as the infallible word of God, and receive its teachings as inspired by the Holy Spirit.”

Thank you guys all for your prayers, your scriptures and your words of encouragement. I think it's hard to understand how much that means, unless you have been in a similar situation.

Lord,
Thank you for your Faithful Servants and prayer warriors who lift Alyson and I before Your throne in their prayers. I pray you would bless them, and encourage them and give them your peace and your hope.
I asked this in the Victorious name of Jesus,
Amen
