The “R” Word!

Tisha saw her oncologist today and he used the “R” word for the first time: REMISSION!
REMISSION! REMISSION! REMISSION! REMISSION! REMISSION! REMISSION! REMISSION! REMISSION! REMISSION! REMISSION! REMISSION! REMISSION! REMISSION! REMISSION! REMISSION! REMISSION! REMISSION! REMISSION! REMISSION! REMISSION! REMISSION! REMISSION! REMISSION! Ok, one more: REMISSION! :)

We have known there was no active cancer left since her PET scan in July, but this is the first time the doctor has said remission and it feels unbelievable! And she doesn’t have to go back to the oncologist until January!

The last nine months have been a blurry rollercoaster. We’ve cried a lot of tears and then laughed until it hurt. We’ve been weighed down by despair and then stood strong in faith. We’ve felt hopeless and then hopeful. But through it all, there has been one constant: we have been held tight in your constant love, constant support, and most importantly constant prayers. Metisha and her family know that it is by prayer that Metisha is healed. God answered our prayers with a miracle!

So the blogging will continue to slow down, but I will keep updating through the reconstruction process. I know some of you will experience Ta Ta blog withdrawal, but we are so thankful to have no news to report!

Please don’t stop praying. Praise God for His healing and His miracle! Pray that Metisha will remain in remission. And continue to pray for her friends John and Jeff as they fight the cancer battle.

Luke 8:48
Jesus said, "Daughter, you took a risk trusting me, and now you're healed and whole. Live well, live blessed!"

Psalm 30:2
O LORD my God,I cried to You for help, and You healed me.

YEA METISHA!
Yes, we knew you were healed, but how wonderful to see the word REMISSION! You are such an amazing person and I am so proud to be your friend. We will continue to pray for you and the reconstruction process. I just love seeing you at school. You absolutely glow!(and it's not from the chemo!!) You can just see this light around you. You are so strong and such an inspiration.
Your friend,
Jen
