February 23, 2023 was a miracle day for me. I had an appointment in the Oncology Department at University Hospital, Coventry for feedback on my latest MRI and CT scans. Great result – my brain stem tumour has shrunk from 22mm down to 16mm. I haven’t been too concerned about the 4 tumours in my lungs because of their small size. A couple were about 2mm and they reduced to about 1mm. I think the largest is about 10mm. We decided that I would continue on the combined therapy of Everolimus and Lenvatinib.
The good news didn’t end there. As mentioned in My Cancer background, I have been suffering from a severe groin pain for some months when standing and walking. A few weeks ago I had a couple of days when it almost went away and I was able to walk about a quarter mile on those days. When I woke up on February 23rd, the pain wasn’t too bad and by lunchtime it had gone. I celebrated by walking a whole mile. I had quite got out of the habit of walking and my muscles weren’t used to it. I was feeling quite exhausted, but elated, at the end of it.
I was concerned that the pain might come back today, a day later, but only the faintest hint of it this morning
I have written a blog post on Miracles to express my thanks and to say how these improvements connect with my faith.
Thank God.
