I had an epiphany today while sitting in the oncologist's office. There's so much talk and paraphernalia about finding cures for cancer. There's bitter talk about why Heavenly Father would allow such suffering. I sat there thinking to myself, No. My heart tells me it's not like that at all! ... Think of the communities and families that have come together to love, serve, and mourn with one another.

Our Father in heaven provides opportunities every day for us to keep his commandments, to follow His ultimate example of serving, loving, caring for His spirit children, our spirit brothers and sisters. I get to experience firsthand on a daily basis how beautiful the hearts of mankind really are.

Turn off the news of contentious politics, crime, and adultery for a bit. You'll find a world of compassion. PLEASE ACCEPT MY GRATITUDE to all those who uplift and show me what leading a Christ-like life is really all about. Loads and loads of LOVE!!!

PET scan results

I had my PET scan on Monday. Tuesday afternoon, my oncologist called to review some of the results with me before leaving town. Bad news is that there is still cancer in the liver, so chemo continues. Good news is that they didn't detect any other lesions of cancer anywhere else. It's shrinking -- the treatment and prayers are working. Keep it up, Team! :)

Love you,
Bri

    Yay! I love to hear all of this good news. I know you do not want to do chemo anymore, but it's working and it's only a matter of time until it's completely gone. Keep staying strong Bri!
