Hello Everyone,
I can't thank you enough for your encouraging emails and prayers over the past few weeks. Everyday seemed to bring more bad news for my family, but yesterday we actually got some good news!
With Dad's battle against prostate cancer, we had tried every natural product we knew of. The doctors had said that the only way we would know if the cancer was shrinking, was that the PSA level would come down. It continued to climb. (Between 0-4 is considered good...8 being high.) Dad's last test result was a 42! So you can see why we were worried enough to agree to do the Radiation treatments.
Yesterday Dad called me at work and said he had news. I told him I really didn't want to hear it, but I would anyway. Then he asked if I was ready to praise God with him. His PSA had went from a 42.6 to a 3.9!! Our doctor said he's never seen anything like it.
Dad was scheduled to start his Radiation next week. He was to live in Cleveland for 5 weeks, his treatments being 5 days a week. God had other plans. The doctor said with the PSA being that low, he didn't think he would need to do it. We are currently setting up an appointment to see if the cancer is even there anymore. I'll keep you posted!
Again, thank you for your prayers and I would ask that you continue to do so. Dad goes into surgery Monday for his face cancer and I am due to have gallbladder surgery soon.
I confess that I had become bitter...didn't have any tears left to cry. Today tears of joy fill my eyes and a renewed hope, my being.
Thanks again...He's still a Healer!

Praise God!!! That is great news! I will continue to pray, and keep us posted on how he is doing.. Also with your mom! Let us know when you are going in for your surgery! I am so happy that when you found your tears again, that they were tears of joy. It makes me think of Allie and Maurice's song I believe that said "un-dry these tears"... I hope I am saying it right???

His mercies are new every morning...thank you for reminding us and sharing your heart. This sound almost exactly like what happened to a good friend and prayer warrior in our church.
We'll keep praying here.

That noise you heard was a Shout of “Praise the Lord” from Jacksonville Florida! I love to hear great examples of God getting in the middle of it all….. Wow…. It is great to hear that a 49 PSA test means absolutely nothing to God. Amazing…Amazing…Amazing….
Thanks for the update and Thank you Lord for stepping in!
