Better Yet On Revlimid

I am astonished! My latest visit to Mayo Clinic showed continued reduction of my lymphoma. I am now officially not just in "partial remission," but into "complete remission." That means there are probably still a small number of cancer cells in my body, but they are too few to detect. No patient who has responded this well, and continued taking my experimental drug, Revlimid, has yet had the cancer return. The only side effect I feel is reduced energy. We will slightly lower my dosage (a smaller pill each breakfast), to see if this gives me more stamina.

There is something special happening within me in recent months. God has given me this extraordinary relief from an "incurable" cancer. And my ongoing full-time counseling work has become more successful than ever before. The lesson here is that we learn wisdom from two major sources: suffering and gratitude.
