Kara met with her Novalis doctor today, and he was very pleased with the scan results. There is no new growth in her brain, and he believes the spots that were treated are resolving. We are all very happy with and thankful for this news! The plan remains for Kara to continue with the Herceptin infusions for the rest of the month, and then she will return to getting more aggressive chemotherapy.
Prayer Requests:
- Please pray that Kara's body continues its healing, and that she feels less fatigued.
- Please pray that the cancer is 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, What wonderful news and what beautiful family photos! How grateful we are for our Lord's healing powers and goodness each day keeping you strong and well and with no new tumors-able to enjoy Emma's birthday, the Halloween festivities, the Rice game fun, and most of all being such a vital part of the little ones' daily lives and activities. Thank you thank you for continuing prayers being answered so gloriously and faithfully. Stay well and rested and focused as you always are and know how dearly you are loved and cared for by so many in so many ways. Much love, Aunt Betsy
