Hi ,
This email is a deviation from the normal purpose. This is an update....
Many folks have been added to our mailing list over the last several months, so for those of you who are new, I'd like to tell you briefly about this issue. For those of you who know what's going on, this will serve as the update many of you have been asking for.
My brother, John, who lives in Houston, TX, is a key player in the production of our DVDs. He does most of the filming, and all of the editing. He has been involved with our ministry for many years, primarily in this role. He was diagnosed with cancer over a year ago, and is at stage four. The treatments started a year ago, but both rounds of treatments in 2021 had no effect. In fact, the cancer grew!
This brings me to today's update. Late last fall, he had a Y90 injection - a new type of treatment that targets tumors with a high dose of radiation. The scan that would determine how successful it has been was performed on February 25. He just received the results yesterday, Monday, March 7.
The results are good in that it seemed to work quite well on the main tumor, but there are smaller ones persisting. So, he will undergo another series of treatments (not Y90) that will start soon. He is in good spirits, and actually looking forward to going to Montana with me in early April for two weeks to record another video, assuming he's feeling well enough and it works with his treatment schedule.
I had also told you about the son of my other brother, Rob, who had a serious bout with Covid. He was hospitalized around Thanksgiving last year, and was on an ECMO machine for almost three months! His name is John, too. Several weeks ago, they didn't expect him to live beyond just several days, but it seems the Lord performed a miracle! At this point, he's getting better and the signs are improving by the
day.
Thank you all so much for your prayers! I'll keep you updated as I receive news.
