We’ve had a peaceful and uneventful Christmas. Maggie has remained germ-free and strong. She is still having occasional back pain from an undetermined source (most likely liver), but it responds well to pain meds. After her next chemo round, it will be time for scans again. We hope this will shed light on the mystery pain so we can eliminate it if possible. Speaking of chemo rounds, Maggie and I will report to the CCC at 8:00 am tomorrow for ROUND #50! Can you believe that? She is one tough fighter. The plan is the same – admission to 3C for 48 hours of chemo. If all goes well, we’ll be home Saturday afternoon.
We appreciate your prayers for effective chemo with few side effects. We continue to feel the support and strength from your prayers for the family. It is a tough journey. We all feel a sense of life on hold. The uncertainty of treatment schedule, side effects, and the general “unknown” of life with cancer makes planning a challenge. We’re hoping for Maggie to start a few college classes in 2018. We continue to work well as a family to keep life moving along. Molly is working some but remains at home as my right hand. (I couldn’t do what I do without her). We’re thankful we’ve all been healthy! Thank you for being part of all we’ve accomplished this year.
I’ll post an update during treatment (if my laptop is able to connect to hospital wi-fi – last admission we had problems).
Continued prayers for your sweet family ????????❤️
God bless. So thankful you all had an uneventful Christmas. Prayers for round 50 & scans. ❤️????????????????
Happy Holidays to you and continued prayers for a God filled and Glorified 2018 for Maggie!❤️????????
Prayers this chemo is good and no complications.
Prayers of a gentle Thankfulness as God slows us down to see His Grace, Peace, Mercy, Strength and Love in the Hanberry Family… Humbly I Pray God’s Power Upon Our Hanberry Family….
So proud of her! She is a truly tough fighter! Love and prayers!

Praying continues in Pontotoc! ????
Praying all goes well. Glad to get your post.❤️
May God give you continued peace and protection! Prayers and Blessings!!
Wow! 50??? Maggie is incredibly strong to endure what she’s gone/going through. Praying for successful chemo with few side effects and for the family as y’all do what you do for Maggie and try to maintain as much normalcy as possible. ❤️????
We all know these are difficult days and we all know God is in control. Praying 2018 will be a blessed year. So many folks are praying daily for Maggie and all the Handberrys.
Praying for low side effects and an upcoming scan that reveals the cancer is shrinking.
Presenting our request to God!!!! Praying the scans show wonderful improvement!!! Y’all amaze me!!! Thank you for your willingness to share this journey and for always pointing us to The One who is ALL POWERFUL!!! Much love from all The Mills Fam!!!
When I read your updates I think of what a picture you all show of the reality of where you stand! Isaiah tells us if we do not stand firm in our faith we will not stand at all. Isaiah 7:9. Paul tells us our justifying faith allows us to have peace with God through Christ through Whom we gain access through faith into THIS GRACE in which we stand! Romans 5:1. I keep coming back to Mother Teresa’s statement when I think of your walk through this with the Lord…Living a life that makes it easy for others to believe God exists. Keeping you all in our prayers!
Praying every day for you all. I also pray that 2018 brings y’all new hope. Much love!!
God Bless you guys. God is Good.
PRAYERS CONTINUE FOR YOU ALL! HOPE YOU HAD A MERRY CHRISTMAS, AND BEST WISHES FOR A MIRACULOUS 2018!
I see Christ in you. Thank you and your family for your powerful witness.
