Encouraged

In the last month that I have been on the chemo treatment, I can say that the pain has decreased, the energy level has increased, and my appetite has returned. The PSA had come down from the mid-500's to about 450 in three weeks. What a surprise! Instead of 2-4 hours at work I have been putting in 5-6. Several weeks ago I was able to speak at a church's Saturday evening service as well as the Sunday morning worship. The energy was there for that long weekend.
Thank you for all of your prayers on this long journey. As I was receiving the first chemo treatment, a friend, Susan, called encouraging us to see the chemo as God's mercy entering and giving life to my body. Also that it would not overstep its bounds as it carries out its assignment. So Annie and I have prayed along those lines.
I still have a good immune level, but it could drop over time with the treatments. I need to increase my red blood cell count. I would appreciate your prayers along those lines. Thank you so much.
