Great Report - A Day to Give God the Glory!!!
Tom had his CT scan yesterday and we've been on pins and needles waiting for the doctor to call with the report. We heard from him a few minutes ago and are overwhelmed with the results. The tumor in the liver is smaller, but the tumor in the pancreas has shrunk dramatically. The combined volume is down approximately 70% (originally over 400, down to 80). PRAISE GOD!!!!There is always a but, and he did say that the there is still cancer in the vein, but he can't tell if that will preclude surgically removing the rest of the tumors without Dr. Kuhn, the surgeon, looking at the scan. He is in surgery all day today so the doctor asked Tom to be patient over the weekend and decisions will be made next week. We, of course, want to proceed with surgery because that will allow the vaccine preparation to go forward, and outside of God zapping it entirely, that is our best bet that the rest of the cancer will be eradicated.
We'll keep you posted - in the meantime we are rejoicing!!!

Tom & Eileen,
You've set excellent examples of walking through and through, praising God. You're both such an inspiration to me. My faith's been tested in this because sometimes it's harder to bear the pain of a loved one than it is your own. Because of this, the Lord has shown Himself awesome in my sight. For that and for you, I'm so grateful...
Love you both so much, Tracy
Keep up the good work Mr. Hardeman! Thank you for investing the time to show those around you that you care about them. It is encouraging to me and, I'm sure, everyone else you contact.
I've been in Honduras for a little over a week now and I'm settling nicely into my work here. I'll still be working with Mary Crowley long distance while I'm here so on behalf of everyone at MCMRC, Congratulations!
Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep,
I am the diamond glints on the snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you waken in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there. I did not die.
