From Dr. Jessup-3.5.10 @ 8:33 a.m.

I am doing well; in fact, I went ice fishing with Pastor Pennell on March 4. We caught a few small perch. I have changed my diet to "vegan" which is no meat or dairy products. I have a small piece of cold water fish or organic poultry once a week and one egg a week. Other than that, it is vegetables, grains, and fruit. I am on mega doses of vitamins and minerals plus a shot of B-17 three times a week. I am doing fine on this diet and have not lost any weight. I am as surprised as everyone else.

As for the cancer, I had a CT scan while in Tijuana and no new tumors were found. The tumor in the lung had not increased in size. This scan was done shortly after getting to Oasis of Hope so the treatment there had nothing to do with this scan. They thought it might have been the chemo or other things I was doing before getting to Mexico.

I return to Oasis of Hope on March 22 and will have more treatments during that week. I will have another scan, and we will know more then about the progress of the cancer. If the cancer is still in check when we return, we want to get back on the road and help with the church plants for this spring and summer. We will see how this goes.

I honestly believe that the main factor is the number of people praying for us and asking God to intervene in our behalf. We appreciate your continued prayers for us. I still have "moments" where it is difficult to wrap my head around all this but they are fewer than before. Getting back to work will help with that. I am working everyday, but I admit I get more tired than before. Hopefully, I can get back to some consistent exercise in the next few weeks.
