Our prayers have been answered!

Hi!

It's Robynn. I just couldn't let anyone else share this news with all of you today. I needed to do it myself. First, I need to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all of your positive thoughts and prayers for my health and well-being. We met with my doctor in Houston today and received wonderful news. It seems that many of the tumors have remained stable, but even more have gotten smaller. We are obviously elated at this news! My treatment will remain the same and I will return in 5 weeks for another scan and evaluation. I have absolutely no doubt that this is the result of all of your prayers! God has blessed me in so many ways and now He is blessing me with these positive results. Thank you for all the love and support you have given me. I love you!!!!!

Robynn,
This has got to be the best news I've heard all year!! Thank you for delivering this wonderful news as well! I am so elated for you and your family. God is truly in this whole thing. I thank you for having faith through all this because it shows us all what having faith is really all about. He will "never" let us down. God is wonderful, and I can't wait to see Him in further action for you. Continue to be patient with this process. You are His project, and He's demonstrating His work to us all.
I love you so much, my little Wobbyn. Continue standing strong. I'm standing with you all as well.

Me again, I am too excited to leave the blog.

I just wanted you to know about all the wonderful news I have been reading about gemzar/taxotere. I am currently reading the posts on the Angiosarcoma blogs and there are multiple posts about this treatment completely riding the tumors! A few months ago I could only find a few. It seems it is creating quite a stir! I can't wait to post about how my friend Robynn is also cancer free because of Gem/tax!!!!!

Love you!

To this day I am amazed at your strength and your familes strength! You and Brian are amazing people and we are so blessed to know you all.

Oh the lord is great! Let's give him chocolate cake;) Not only are the prayers working, but your wonderfully possitive attitude is working right along with the chemo to knock those suckers down. You are such a fighter and now is the time to dig those heels in and fight, fight, fight! Spencer and Mason had a great time with Brady and Peanut yesterday. Those kids were crazy swimmers. You would be proud of mum-mum, despite their pouty lips she got the kids to bed on time. They put up a good fight, but mum-mum is tough;)
I am just so darn happy for you all right now, I want to shout at the top of my lungs..."YEAH-HOO!"
I know it's tough, but you can do it, look at all you've done so far.
Hugs,

Robynn,

We are excited that you received such an AWESOME report! You go girl! We knew this would happen and you deserve it as hard as you have been fighting this!!!! We are still here in good ole Arkansas (a big YEE HAW!) praying hard for God to heal you.

Also, I just wanted to let you know that Jeff David and his wife, Rachel, had a baby boy. Kai Joseph David was born at 31 weeks and weighed 3lbs 11 oz. Eveything is great considering his gestation. He is small, but tough! They are in Laguna Hills and baby Kai will remain in the NICU for a little while until he gets stronger. Please pray for him to gain weight and go home soon.

Again, we are sooooo happy for you and your family. Keep up the fight! We are still here praying for you every single day.

God's Love-
Stephanie David
