Thanks to everyone who prayed for Jeff, husband of Michigan Jan

[Guest guest]

I read all the posts here with interest and have for a long time. I have learned

a lot about adult onset mitchondria disorders. I do not exactly fit the pattern,

but my symptoms are smiiliar to some of you, so I will keep on reading all that

you post. I also have dysautonomia and postural orthostatic taccycardia. I

believe there is at least one other member here who also has that.

Back in June my husband was diagnosed with esophogeal cancer stage 4, which all

the doctors have told us is terminal. I posted here and asked members to pray

for him.

Thank you to all who prayed. Jeff has had 3 rounds of chemo since then and today

we got the results of the CT scan done last week. His original tumor which was

in the esophogus and stomach is no longer visible and the metatsis to his liver

are reduced by at least half.

While I know the chemo is having an effect, it doesn't always work for

esophogeal cancer. I credit all the prayer that so many have been offering on

his behalf. Thank you so much to anyone who has been praying for him.

It has been a difficult road, with my being chronically ill and he is my

caregiver. I don't do well outside or in the car or even standing at the

grocery. He does all that for me. So going to all these doctor appointments and

caring for him through chemo has been tough. But I have been able to cope and I

think that is because everyone's prayers have given me strength.

Now Jeff's cancer is on the run. Please continue to pray for him andhelp us run

it right out of town!

Hi Jan and Jeff,

It is so nice to hear some good news!!! I am so happy that Jeff's cancer is

on the RUN and that his original tumor is no longer visible and that

metatsis to his liver is reduced by almost half.!!! This is fantastic news!!!

I am happy to know that you had the strength to go to the doctors

appointments with Jeff and care for him through his chemo. That strength

you had came from many prayers of hope and love for both of you. Being

chronically ill and having to step up to the plate and be the caregiver is

a hard thing to do and a major change that our bodies don't always react to

in a positive way. I am pleased that you were able to care for Jeff.

Keeping you and Jeff in my thoughts and in my prayers. Praying for

continued strength for the both of you and for continued success in beating

this nasty cancer. Let's Keep Jeff's Cancer on the RUN!!!

Blessings,

Ann-Marie
