[Coco] Ashley's condition with cancer

[Roger Taylor]

Months back, I posted a cry for help by prayer for my 6 year old niece in 
hopes that her newly found cancer would go away.  For the 2 people out of 
several hundred possible list members that replied back to me, I want to 
thank you 2 people who gave 10 seconds of your keyboard time and to also 
give you the latest news on Ashley's condition.

I also want to thank Brother Jeremy who replied right away and gave his 
reassurance and prayers, etc.

And, I want everybody to read the Journal paragraphs below.

Here is the latest word on Ashley as typed from her family on a site they 
set up, which I find amazing due to the form of cancer Ashley has.  Thank 
you for your prayers, whoever you are.

Hey everyone,
I am so happy to be home even if it is only for the weekend. On Wednesday 
we met with the surgeons. Surgery is tentatively scheduled for December 9. 
We go back Tuesday for chemo. This will be the three week chemo. Our doctor 
says that if Ashley does well Wed., Thurs., then on Friday we can go home 
til the next Tuesday.
Our God is so awesome. He is bigger than cancer and he proves that to us 
every time we meet with the doctors. On Wednesday we received the results 
of the PET scan. According to our doctor, Ashley is " amazing," (her words 
exactly). All of the cancer cells in all of the tumors except the primary 
site above the right knee are DEAD!!!! Did you hear me? DEAD!!!! And this 
is the type of cancer that doesn't repond to chemo... words from doctor 
back in August. The primary tumor barely glowed at all on the scan so we 
are hopeful that this last round of chemo will destroy the few living 
cancer cells left in Ashley's body.
Once again, Our God is Good.
Til Next Time, Valerie
