Mile Marker #6

Hello Friends!   

We have reached Mile Marker #6.  

The scripture we chose for this posting is Isaiah 40:31, "but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."

The results are in from the May 15th ultrasound.

Since this was an ultrasound and not a PET Scan, the Doctor focused primarily on the liver area.  Of the 6 masses on the liver, 4 have decreased in size and 2 have increased.  Overall the Dr. was encouraged by this progress and we are thankful to see progress as well!  We recognize that others may not be nearly as fortunate!  PRAISE JESUS for the positive news and His encouragement to keep on keeping on!

So the plan is to continue to receive treatment at the Get Well Center 3 days a week, following the protocol below for the next few months.  After 3 more months of treatment, they plan to conduct another ultrasound to see what changes have taken place and eventually they will do another scan down the road.

Protocol:
In terms of chemo, the Insulin Potentiation Therapy via IV has been reduced to 1 treatment every other week with the goal to reduce down to once a month long term.  And the Treosulfan, chemo via pill, he takes 3 times a day daily.   In addition, he is now on 3 different types of treatments (IL-2, Interferon Alpha-2B & Palladium Lipoid Complex) to trick his Immune System.  Meanwhile, John also continues the alternative/natural protocol he has been doing with High Dose Vitamin C, detox shakes, general nutrition, etc.

Again, thank you for your continued love, encouragement & prayers!  Please continue to pray for John's healing over these next 3 months and that all of the tumors are eliminated from his body! 

With Much Love,
The Gooney Gurneys
