Lynne had a brain MRI on Wednesday and met the with oncologist a few hours later. The oncologist entered the room saying "do you want some good news?" The good news is that the MRI when compared with the previous MRI shows that the chemotherapy and radiation produced a positive result regarding the residual cancer. The MRI shows a reduction in the size of the residual following the surgical removal of the tumor.
Yesterday, Lynne's blood test results indicated an increase in the blood platelet level after several weeks of critically low levels. We hope for continued increases to reach a normal level. Lynne's white blood count remains low keeping her on 'lock down' to use one our friends phrase. She must remain away from crowds to avoid catching a bug as her immunity is low. Lynne is scheduled for a bone marrow biopsy to rule out any issues with the marrow in relation to the platelet level.
Please continue your prayers. We appreciate them and give many thanks for the progress so far.

Dear Darryl,
Your news does indeed call for much thanks giving -- and we join you in thanking our Father for this amazing progress.
We will continue to go to Him in supplication for continued healing and some extra patience for Lynne during this "lockdown" phase of her recovery.
Much love to both!
Joe & Oleta
