Praise the Lord! We just got the call from Dr. Axtell (oncologist) about the final pathology reports and we won't be needing his services! He was happy to tell us that they found NO SIGN of cancer in the tumor. The N-Myc gene came back negative for cancer, there are definitely no cancer cells. This is considered a ganglioneuroma, 100% benign tumor. No chemo, no radiation!
She will have future follow up scans to make sure that the tumor doesn't come back, but Dr. Axtell thinks it is very unlikely that it will.
Remember, we were told that it was a 98% chance that her tumor was Neuroblastoma Cancer. Izzy's big sister Charley kept saying "Isabella is in the 2%", and we all wanted to believe that but we were also trying to be realistic that the Doctors are probably rarely wrong about these things.
Praise God for this miracle, Izzy is our 2%!

Your prayers and the prayers of many have been answered! That is awesome news.
ReplyDeleteKaren and Tom,
ReplyDeleteWhat awesome news! Our Sunday School class is praying for all of you! I think of you often and pray that God is giving you peace.
These verses have always given me peace and comfort:
Romans 5:3-5 And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy spirit who was given to us.
We have peace in knowing God does not leave us or foresake us!! May you find rest in his arms.
Love, Sommer
So glad to hear this news, praise the Lord and let the glory be to God for answering prayers, and for the faith of Karen and Tom who had a difficult day on Sunday but just when it seems the darkest hour has come, God answers.... This will be her and your testimony and people will be encouraged by your story. I pray that God will fill you with peace. Every day is a new day for hope and our savior separates day and night for this reason, rest now knowing God is near.
