from Co-Chairman Mike Chen

Dear NEOCMDA friends and members,

Greetings in Christ! Just wanted to send out a quick email with an update on my sister. Many of you have been praying for her in the midst of her battle with leukemia (CMML), which I so appreciate. As you may recall, the prognosis of CMML (not CML) is pretty dismal but we've been trusting God in the midst of it. Well, Irene had another biopsy to confirm the diagnosis and this biopsy was dramatically better- so much so that when she saw the hematologist the other day, he told her that she does not have cancer any more! He had no explanation for why or how things got better (she did not get any treatment besides some IV iron because she was found to be deficient on her biopsy), but I am giving glory to God for intervening through the prayers of the saints to take away her cancer. Thank you so much for your prayers and support- it has been such an encouragement for me to see my sister being lifted up by people all over Northeast Ohio.

God is good, always,

Mike Chen, MD
