God's grace is sufficient for us. Praise God who is merciful and gracious!
It was a relief to us that no conclusive evidence of any active disease was found in David's last review. He was referred to an orthopeadic oncologist to further assess whether he needed to do a biopsy to determine if there are active myeloma cells in his spine.
The orthopeadic oncologist who is also a friend of David, was very encouraging. The recent x-rays he took did not show any worsening of the condition of his spine compared to the x-ray took in 2006. So, instead of going for the high risk biopsy (there is only a 5mm distance from the nerve column), he suggested that we wait and do another test for his review in 4 months time. He even encouraged us not to live under the shadow of the illness. Yes, we are reminded that God is faithful. His promises never fail. So, all will be well.
"Oh give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. For His mercy endures forever." Psalm 107:1
Thanks to all of you who constantly uplifted David in prayers.
God bless,
