Kara's bloodwork shows that her platelets are back up to an okay level, but now her white blood cells are too low to restart her platinum chemo. She will continue with Herceptin today.
Prayer Requests:
- Please pray for increased bloodcounts for Kara, that she may resume her platinum chemo.
- Please pray for insurance approval of her Herceptin.
- Please pray that the cancer be eradicated from Kara's body, permanently.
Thank you.
In February 2005, Kara was diagnosed with a rare form of metastatic brain cancer – large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma. She is a devoted mother of two, and a caring and generous wife, sister and daughter. This blog was started to keep family and friends informed of Kara's progress. The thoughts and prayers Kara has received through this blog have been an unending source of hope and inspiration, including many kind and encouraging comments from people she has never met. We thank you all.

Dear Kara,
I'm glad to hear that your platelets are up to close to where they should be; now we will pray that your white blood cells will follow suit! :)

Dear Kara,
We hope that you and Matt enjoyed your anniversary weekend! It sounded like a lot of fun, an opportunity to be refreshed and pampered. :)
We're praying for your blood counts to keep improving, so that you'll be able to continue with the chemo regimen.
We love you,

Dear Kara,
Happy anniversary to you and Matt! We hope you had a wonderful time together. Our daughter Sarah and her husband are celebrating 10 years in July.
We pray for your blood count to be up to where you can receive chemo and that you will have the insurance coverage that you need. But most of all we pray for complete recovery.
Love,
Curt and Linda
Kara and Matt, we hope that you enjoy your time together in San Antonio. I have found memories of my visits there. Enjoy the Riverwalk and restaurants. We are happy to hear things are progressing and you are feeling well enough to celebrate. Enjoy your time together. You are never far from our thoughts and always in our prayers. Love, Janice
Dear Kara, Hope you're busy enjoying being home with the children this week while awaiting a rise in your leucocytes. How wonderful that your platelets have recuperated and are climbing back to normal! Thank goodness for the
new drug which hopefully will do more miracles ! Continue to remember how very very special you are to all of us and how much we love you, keeping you in our thoughts and prayers every moment of every day. Much love to all, Aunt Betsy
