Treatment Plan

Dr. Lynch remains upbeat and positive with Kara. The PET Scan showed some very small tumors in her abdominal cavity. The MRI of Kara's head looks good. The plan is to resume chemotherapy, using Avastin. She will receive the Avastin once a week for six weeks and then re-check. Avastin should not deplete bone marrow, so her blood counts shouldn't be affected and she should be able to continue with her treatment plan. Kara won't have Novalis yet because Avastin kills new blood vessels, so wounds won't heal properly.

Praises:
- Thank you God for the continued encouragement and hope that Kara will be cured.
- Thank you God for providing Kara with knowledgeable and skilled health care providers.
- Thank you God for the progress and advancement in therapies and treatments.

Prayer Requests:
- Please pray that Kara can begin the Avastin soon.
- Please pray for insurance company approval of this new treatment.
- Please pray that Kara is less fatigued and able to enjoy the upcoming holidays with her family.
- Please pray that the cancer be eradicated from Kara's body permanently.

Thank you. Your prayers, support, and encouragement are invaluable to Kara, and greatly appreciated.

Dear Kara, How wonderful to know that you'll soon be starting a newer better round of chemo without all the negative side-effects of the previous chemo which was so hard on you for so long. It's truly amazing how Dr. Lynch is being led to direct your overall care so beautifully and in the best time frame to make things happen for you as they should. I'm so grateful for him and his caring and his level of knowledge and expertise. Hopefully you will tolerate the new regimen well and feel the power and healing hand of our gracious and all-powerful Lord who has taken care of us so far and will continue to do so with each new day. Stay strong and rested and positive, dear Kara, remembering how greatly you are loved by us all and how our prayers for you and your total return to good health continue day and night- as do our prayers for all the rest of the family to stay well and healthy and upbeat also! Much love to all, Aunt Betsy
