Proverbs 3:6 "In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."

So this is what we are planning on doing! We know that the Lords hand is in ALL things and we are trusting that he will direct our path.  

The results today were not great.  The chemo sutent that Ron has been on for the past 2 months basically didn't work.  The pain that Ron is feeling on his right side has gotten worse, and now we know why...the metastatic disease has increased.  His right adrenal and kidney are both larger than the last scans.  I am not going to go into lots of details, partly because he wants to keep some of it private and partly because we have to see another doctor who will determine what to do next i.e.. surgery, or more radiation to that particular area.  We should know more in the next few days.  

As for the other growth the kidney and adrenal gland they are going to try yet another form of chemo.  This one is called Axitinib similar to the last one but hoping that it will work this time.  He will have most of the same side effects, he will be taking it two times a day and there will be no breaks, so they will test him after he has been on it for 15 days.  Not sure when he will begin it all depends of course on getting our insurance on board again for the new drug.  Always have to jump through hoops of red tape to get things going.  

So the fight continuers and we will not stop! Ron is just as amazing as always.  I break down and he tells me "chin up" we will get through this together, the Lord has never let us down and he's not going to start now.  We just have to figure out what his will is! 

This is a board at the Huntsman Center I think it is great!!!
