"And above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfectness. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts..." Colossians 3:14-15

The results of the CT scan are in. It isn't good news. The cancer is growing again, this evidenced by another suspicious spot on Malcom's right lung, a marked increase in the build up of fluid around the right lung (which explains his labored breathing), an increase in the size of the lymph nodes of the chest to name a few. The decision was made to go ahead with chemo and in fact changing one of the drugs. In addition, tomorrow morning Malcom is scheduled to undergo a procedure (thoracentesis) to remove the fluid around the lung.

It's been one of those roller-coaster emotion days. It is a setback and can be discouraging. That being said, once again Malcom and I both are making a conscious decision to continue trusting the Lord. We cannot trust Him only when days are good and the prospects seem hopeful. True faith chooses to trust even in the darkest of hours. Rather than allow fear and doubt to reign, we will let the peace of God rule in our hearts.

Someone asked me tonight how they should pray. Maybe you wonder the same thing. The answer is: pray for healing, pray that the change in chemo will be effective, pray for God's perfect will.
