Happy Tears

Hello Chad Lovers! Well I have GREAT news to share!! Chad’s latest MRI showed that 6 out of the 7 cancer spots on his brain are either gone completely or are shrinking the way they should after treatment. The 7th one hasn’t gotten any bigger and the best part… there are NO new ones!! Also, his latest blood work showed that his tumor markers are all very low. Measuring tumor markers in the blood is one of the ways doctors determine how much cancer is active in a persons body. Dr. May told us last week that there are 3 types of tumor markers they watch closely in Chad’s type of cancer. Of those three, two are now down to 0 and the 3rd one is down to 39!! This is HUGE. To help put this in perspective, the one that is now down to 39 started at over 1,500 when Chad was first diagnosed! At this point Chad is done with treatments and they will begin to monitor his tumor markers every 3 months for any changes. The blood test that reflects the 39 was taken right after he finished his last round of chemo so we believe it is actually even lower than that right now.

So here I am jumping for joy and praising the LORD who has made all this possible!!! I truly believe Chad’s healing is a miracle from GOD and it brings me to tears to think about it (happy ones for a change!). Chad has come so far and to have seen him go through all that he has first hand has been nothing short of amazing. Chad is definitely a messenger of faith. His strength and unwavering desire to trust in God’s will in his own life has inspired me and many others to do the same. As anyone that knows him will say, he is truly one of a kind. Chad is the most unique, interesting and genuine person I’ve ever met and I am so grateful to be able to call him my husband.

So praise the LORD with us for this happy news Chad Lovers! Thank you, thank you, and thank you some more for all of the love and never ending support you’ve given us through this journey. Friends and family are lifeboats from God and we wouldn’t have made it through without you.

Love Always,
Adrianne
