Elizabeth Pierce Update (Good News!)

Back in April, we were posting regular prayer requests for Elizabeth Pierce, the daughter-in-law of Pastor Daniel Pierce from the Greenville, Ohio, Grace Brethren Church, because she had been diagnosed with an aggressive brain tumor.

As treatments have progressed and you have prayed, her progress has been noted on a blog, which can be read at http://elizabethpierce.blogspot.com/. Here is the good-news posting from yesterday:

GREAT NEWS FROM DUKE !!!!!
Elizabeth and Dan met with the doctors at Duke today. The doctors examined the MRI that was taken last week. In the words of the doctor "there is no sign of the tumor."

We are still trying to comprehend the good news but needless to say there has been great joy and excitement over what God has done!

Elizabeth must still complete another round of chemo which is part of the original treatment plan. Chemo should not have the devastating effects that she experienced during radiation.

Please pray:

1) for relief from the headaches that still appear on occasion

2) for no side effects from the chemo

3) that the tumor will not return. Tumors can return within the first two years after successful treatment

4) give thanks to God for His faithfulness and answering the prayers of many people
