Update and Continued Prayer Request for Stephen

Thank you so much to everyone as you have been praying for Stephen. An update for this week. Unfortunately, the PetScan last Wednesday came back showing the mass regrowing again and Stephen is showing signs of B symptoms again. The stem-cell transplant has been put off because of the size of the mass. The cancer has been very progressive since his last chemo treatment.
 
Today/Tonight Stephen is in the hospital overnight undergoing another "salvage" type chemotherapy, very high dose. He will have another one of these in 3 weeks. If all goes well then he'll have the stem-cell tranplant mid-January. Please pray he is able to tolerate this new chemo well.
 
Also, please pray for the complete remission of the cancer. It has been very resilient and progressive after each chemo treatment. It is my prayer for complete iradication. We appreciate each of you, our prayer partners across the country and world. You are all amazing and God is answering prayers as they have been specific (just as the stem-cell pull out and surgery went well) so I'm praying very specifically for complete healing.
 
I will keep you updated as things progress.
