I want to thank all of you for your kind interest in my condition and especially thank those that have offered prayers in my behalf. You will never know how much it means to me.
Today I got my two month checkup. The MRI of my brain taken last Wednesday was fine. It showed signs of the operation but there was no sign of the cancer returning. I am still cancer free. The blood tests also taken last Wednesday were fine. There is no sign of cancer. According to the doctor my recovery is going better than expected. He seemed quite pleased with my condition. I am scheduled for another brain MRI and a chest X-Ray in February.
One point that was quite interesting to me. While waiting to see the doctor I picked up a book on cancer treatment. It said that several studies have shown that those who pray for recovery and have others praying for their recovery do much better than those that do not. The other point it said was that those that believe in God do better than those that do not. It said that those that both believe and have others praying for them do the best of all.
The article was very careful not to state there is a God. I guess they could not do that in this PC world. The article just said that those that believe do better than those who do not. And believers that have the most prayers offered in their behalf do the best of all.

What you wrote reminds me of all the prayers heading up to heaven, when everyone is worried about George Bailey, in "It's a Wonderful Life".
Merry Christmas, CT!

CT, in the NAME OF JESUS I pounce on this wonderful report of healing and eradication of the alien invading forces (seriously!) and command health and continued strength and healing to your brain and every cell of your body.
The good work that God has begun, I command through the authority of the Lion of Judah to CONTINUE unabated through all your days, and I renounce all fear that would WANT to attach itself to any member of your family and among your friends; I command that to go to Jesus, bow to Him, and go where He tells it -- far away from you, your home, your family, your life ... irrevocably. Father God, I ask You to fill CT and all his loved ones with faith for wholeness through the years, for healing, and for peace.
"[The report said] believers that have the most prayers offered in their behalf do the best of all." YES and AMEN!

All the news about your condition has been great!
Nice to see you are going to be around for much longer than it looked like earlier.

With all of the support you have here, you'll not only "do the best," you're likely to achieve the fountain of youth while you're at it!
Thank you for sharing your good news! My prayers for you continue.
Please allow me a moment of self-indulgence (or, as some would call it, a shameless plug). I've had "Faith makes things possible, not easy" as part of my tagline for a long time now. While I'm waiting through this disability process and struggling to find productive things I can do, I decided to do a couple of gift designs using that slogan. Today, out of the gazillions of choices for such things online, somebody discovered my
Faith Makes Things Possible Gift Shop and ordered a framed tile. (I think I'm at about Plan P for my life, but small steps and faith do make a difference!)
