Dr. Lynch was very encouraging and positive with Kara. He said that they are not anywhere near the end of treatment options, and there is still surgery, radio-frequency ablation, Novalis, and different types of chemo to explore.
The plan is to start more chemotherapy on Thursday or Friday. It will be a different type of chemo, so she can receive it on an outpatient basis, without having to stay several days in the hospital. The first day is an 8-hour treatment, and the next week she goes in for one hour, and for one hour the next week. The fourth week she has "off." They will do three rounds of this and repeat the PET Scan to see how things are going. This type of chemo should not be as hard on her physically, and she should not have the neuropathy she experienced previously.
Praises:
- Thank you God for the good news that Kara's brain is still tumor-free, and that there is a new treatment plan in place.
- Thank you God for the wisdom and reassurance of Kara's doctors.
- Thank you God for giving Kara continued hope that you will give her the cure she so faithfully asks for.
Prayer Requests:
- Please pray for peace, comfort, and strength for Kara, Matt, and the family during this difficult and stressful time, that they may feel God's sustaining presence and love.
- Please pray that the cancer be eradicated from Kara's body, permanently.
Thank you. Today is the one-year anniversary of Kara's first CT Scan. It's been a very hard year for Kara, but one filled with many celebrations and memories, and she will continue to persevere and fight the cancer throughout this year as well, with the encouragement of Matt, their children, their family, their friends, and all of the wonderful people praying for her.

Amen, Thank You Lord! Keep up the good work!
Dear Kara, We are all so encouraged by the new treatment plan and the wonderful Dr. Lynch.
A year full of victories has just passed and more days of victories are ahead.
There is a renewed determination to ask our God Almighty to show us new ways to have faith in his leading light.
