One Hundred And Seventyfive Days After Surgery

We met with out doctor yesterday. Debbie has been running a fever since last Friday and he wanted to run some tests and do some lab work. We should get some results back today.

He also shared with us that He had reviewed the CAT scan from March 20 and definitely felt that there were two new lesions that are worrisome for metastases. The previous lesions were stable or could not be seen on the CAT scan. He recommended that Debbie be placed in another clinical trial and receive more chemotherapy. This trial would not use the same drugs. Debbie has evidently grown resistant to the drugs that were used and so has the cancer. He would like to start this new trial within the next two weeks.

Please pray that we will know the Lord’s will with regards to his recommendation. Please continue to stand with us for Debbie to be healed. Please pray for the source of the fever to be discovered and removed.

I am so fortunate to be Debbie’s husband. And our children are so blessed to be Debbie’s children. And I know that those of you that know Debbie feel that you are so blessed to have her as a friend. Her faith and spirit are a constant source of faith and encouragement to our family even though she is the one who is suffering physically from this illness. God continues to keep her singing. Her trust in Him as His daughter is so real. And we are so grateful for each day that we have with her.
