Cancer free!
ByWe just got the results back from Noah’s Minimal Residual Disease test this afternoon. We were hoping for an MRD of less than 1 percent, meaning that Noah would stay in the low-risk group with lower dosages of medication and fewer side effects. The Lord has answered our prayers in a big way.
Not only was Noah’s MRD less than 1 percent — his MRD was negative. In essence, that means that they were unable to detect any cancer in his body AT ALL.
Noah will still have to continue treatment, and they can’t technically declare him to be in remission until the end of this induction phase in about four or five weeks. But the long and short of it is that Noah is cancer free. This has positive implications not only for the short term, but for the long-term prognosis as well. To God be the glory.
Thank you for your prayers. Please keep praying, because the process will still be lengthy and challenging.
We told Noah the news. He was excited for a moment, but then his attention turned to something more important: “Can you get me my pretzels now?”
UPDATE: See this post for some clarification.
We rejoice with you and praise our Great Lord for His mercies with you and your family. We will keep praying! Thanks for sharing the good news so fast!
Love,
Jeff, Virna, Omar and Emely
