Today as I had said in the last blog we went to do blood work and see oncologist and hear what he had to say about last week's CT scan and the maintenance chemo. Well things are not so bad as God has been answering prayers of so many of you and that is that the cancer is not growing, which we think by their response was a surprise, so praise the Lord. I told both doctor and assistant that we still believe in healing to which they had no answer but just carried on with the conversation saying that tomorrow I would be having a maintenance chemo, lasting only 1 hour long instead of 3 plus hours for the regular treatments. They also stated that I will be having these every three weeks and will do another CT scan in 9 months. Right now I feel really great and have not been on any pain meds for weeks with which Dr. Huff the pain mangement doctor who we also saw today was extremely pleased. Her response was that she hopes not to see us for a long time if not ever again and laughed. She is a Christian and we talked to her also about the healing to which she said keep the meds and that does not mean I do not have faith in this healing but you may or may not have some pain sometime and can use them then. With  all this information we left feeling God's continued love and care and could not wait to tell our children and all of you. Well now all of you know the latest and we want to thank you for all of your encouragement and support and hope you will keep us in your prayers because God is not done yet.
Prayer Requests: No return of fluid
                            No side effects of treatment
                            CT scan will show no signs of cancer
                          

                                                                     God's masterpiece one evening
                                                                        thought I would share it

Well back home from our holidays and all the blessings of being with most of the family. I guess this means up early again and back to work for some of us and I know you can guess that it is not me although I wish. Looking at the calendar and trying to get the mind wrapped around the different appointments again. Well one of them is this Wednesday where I will have a whole CT scan and we are praying for good results. I have been feeling really good after a week ago Thursday when you have read I was at the hospital so I know that prayers are working. Thank you to all of you as I know God is using you in my and our family's lives. Our prayer for all of you is that your faith may be strengthen and that you may know that you are being also used in His Kingdom work here on earth. On the 14th I will be having a maintenance chemo treatment which is also via my port. Since I had no major side effects from the regular one I am hoping and praying that the same will be for this. So this can also be added to your prayers and we will wait on the Lord. We are both thanking and praising the Lord for every day and every blessing we are receiving from His hands. Blessings to all of you!

Well as you can tell by the date we are in August and still at the cottage. And it is our second oldest grand child Gideon's birthday. Just this morning as we were all heading for Orillia for some errands when unbeknown to Jane and me we were greeted at Orillia dock by Marcel and the girls from Crown Point. What a surprise!!!!!!!!!!!! Allthough Shelly could not come as she had some work commitments. We miss you shelly. Our time at the cottage has been good with the first week by our selves. Jane had a scare that thursday as she was bothered by a pain in her side during the night. That morning we left for the hospital where they did some test, like x-ray c/t scan and the like and rolled out any lung sack fluid and embolism.  Back for light supper in Orillia with Jane's sister and husband at studebaker. With jane feeling much better with the occasional use of a puffer she became also much more relaxed. The next day the Sall's and Heene's came. the last brought the Doral boat from the farm. We ar truly enjoying having all of them with us for this time and are thankful to our heavenly Father for all these good gifts. God is good all the time.  Marinus + Jane
