Re: Phil's update Oct 5,2004

[Guest guest]

I know hon' I write to a group of friends and family that is about 40 or so

long. Since anyone's personal address is under blind carbon copy that of course

is not evident. Between relatives friends and churches half the known world

may be praying for us!!!

It often feels like we will indeed beat this. God is good and Phil continues

to feel great. But I'm too scared to get my hopes up too much.

Narice, good news about Phil's counts. I'm telling you, he's gonna

amaze us all and just completely beat this beast to a pulp. I am

hoping and praying for good scans for you but hey, even if everything

is stable, that's great news in the world of cancer.

May the Lord be with you and continue to Bless you and yours.

Hugs,

Monika
