Good afternoon everyone. You all have been so good as to offer your prayers for my wife and I that I thought I should give you all an update on her condition.

We got her formal diagnosis of Interhepatic Cholangiocarcinoma stage 4B. That's bile duct cancer, inside the liver. When discussing whether or not she should begin chemo the Dr. told her that she wouldn't live 6 months without treatment but could expect 8-12 months if she submits to treatment. We talked and talked and talked about her options. Since the Dr. promised to take every measure he could to prevent severe nausea she decided to do the chemo. Even if it only buys 2-6 months extra time there's no telling what can happen in those extra months. She agreed to the chemo but only so long as she has a decent quality of life. If her quality of live declines due to the chemo she's going to stop it.

So far she is handling the chemo extremely well. The only negative from chemo so far is that she's always tired and weak, but no nausea. So far so good. She starts her third round tomorrow and after this round she'll have CT scans to see if there's been any progression of her disease or any shrinkage of her tumors.

Janet asked that I extend her thanks to all of you and she's including the Freeper prayer brigade in her prayers. We both are! May God bless you all!

We pray that you and Janet have the Lord’s healing Grace in all ways each and every day. We pray that each day contains a treasure of that Grace to be found amongst the pain, stress and concern that are your daily burden.

Janet has been in my nightly prayers, but now I will offer a morning prayer for her. I will ask our Lord to not only allow the chemotherapy to halt the cell growth, but also that our dear Lord will reverse this condition. I will pray for her, and your strength, and that her immune system will fight back.

Thanks for coming back with this update. We care.

Thanks for the update. Prayers continue for you and your sweet Janet. May His Holy Spirit be within Janet to heal her and over her to guide her physicians for a successful and comfortable treatment. In Jesus’ Holy name I pray.

As your aware. Your wife's improvement from her cancer is in HIS hands. May HE give you the strengh and grace to stay by her side and offer comfort in this difficult situation you two find yourselves in. If HIS game plan is for yet another wonderful miracle to come to past, we shall see you writing words of praise to the high heavens.

Stay strong, and do not give up on faith.
