On Wednesday, after weeks of waiting, Alex was finally able to get a PET scan! Mid afternoon he got the results that showed the chemo is working and his tumors are greatly reduced! He sent that amazing and encouraging report out to his community and within minutes an impromptu celebration had assembled. People cancelled plans, came from miles away and gathered around Alex to rejoice with him. It honestly touched my heart so deep. People who show up are truly just amazing. We all hopped into vehicles and drove to Cheyenne to the newly discovered Sanfords to feast and laugh and just be happy on Alex's behalf. It was great.
Today marks the half way point in his treatment. He's done 6 chemo sessions and he has 6 to go (God willing and everything keeping the trajectory he's on). We've done a lot of breathing out and giving of thanks to God over the past couple of days. It's not the end of this journey yet, but it's a positive inflection point of joy and we are super grateful for this moment.
