Thank you for your continued prayers, support and encouragement. The past few days I have been feeling increasingly stronger and better. This morning we went in for my second round of treatment but one of my lab results came back low so I was sent home to rest for the next week. Yeah!! A week “off” to rest is always a blessing.
Some good news from the lab results is that my body seems to be responding to treatment! The high numbers of two pancreatic enzymes referred to in my June 8th blog are starting to come back down closer to the normal range. This may mean that the tumor in my pancreas is shrinking! We will know more details after the next scan but the overall sense is that we are moving in the right direction.
My second round of chemotherapy treatment is now postponed next Friday, September 4th.
Thanks for continued prayers that my body can rest and recuperate so that I continue on with my treatment, next week.
Love and Blessings,
Debbie (and Patrick too:-)

Debbie, this is such an encouraging report! I am so thankful for you that you’re feeling better and even more strong. And your lab results are so encouraging. Sometimes a change in chemo is needed and that seems to be right in your case. I will be praying that you can get plenty of rest so that your body can recuperate for your treatment next Friday. Thanks for the wonderful report! God is good! Love you, friend! ❤️

We pray for you nightly. Our pastor has been teaching through Romans. Yesterday he was at the end of Romans 5 and it was very encouraging to us. “For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.” (Romans 5:17) The resurrection of our bodies is even more certain than death.
