Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

Monday we had the long-awatied CT scan. Praise the Lord for no tumors!!
Everything looks good, according to drs. One thing that did show up on the scan was the infamous necrotic lymph node. Although it measures less than half of what it did, it is still obvious on the scan. However, neither dr. could find it upon external examination. We will see the surgeon on Thursday and get his take...which will undoubtedly be to continue with surgery as planned on next Wed. This seems to be standard procedure for this kind of thing. We think he will also take out the feeding tube during surgery. Although Aaron does not want to go through surgery, we are still very grateful for answered prayer in the success of treatment. Please pray for wisdom for Dr. Magnasun and us as we see him on Thursday.

Also, my Dad is out of the hospital and feeling much stronger!!! He will meet with his oncologist tomorrow and decide about further treatment.

As always, we love and appreciate you and your prayerful concern.

I am rejoicing with you with the great results of the CT scan and will continue to pray about surgery for the lymph node. How is the nausea?
Great to hear also that your father is feeling stronger.
Our family and our church family continue to lift you up in our prayers.

Hello!
You quoted “He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.”

So what are the paths of righteousness?
The definition of righteousness according to the first-century teacher Ribi Yehoshua (ha-Mashiakh; the Messiah) from Nazareth (You can find Ribi Yehoshuas teachings here: Netzarim), is the same definition found in Torah; and that is to follow the instructions of the Creator found in Torah.

It is written in Torah, Devarim 13:1-6, that it is forbidden to add or remove mitzwot (commandments) from Torah. For example one mitzwah is that one shouldn’t eat pork and another one is that one should celebrate Shabat.

It is written in Malakhi 3:6 that the Creator does not change.

All the best, Anders Branderud
