Scan Results

Kara's PET Scan revealed that the tumors she had previously were either the same size or reduced in size. She has two new, small tumors on her liver. The Avastin can take a couple of months to be fully effective, so these results aren't unexpected, and we're glad to know that the existing tumors have been kept at bay by the Avastin. Kara will meet with Dr. Lynch next week to go over the results fully and find out the new plan.

Praises:
- Thank you God that Kara's older tumors seem to be responding to the Avastin.
- Thank you God for the skilled health care providers that have been tailoring her treatment.
- Thank you God that Kara's been feeling better and has had more energy recently, and she's been able to participate in her children's activities.

Prayer Requests:
- Please pray for an encouraging plan from Dr. Lynch.
- Please pray for insurance company approval of Avastin.
- Please pray that the cancer be eradicated from Kara's body, permanently.

Thank you.

Hi Kara,

We are very grateful to hear the good news of the scan. Thank the Lord for keeping you and providing just the right care for you.
Psalm 5:11 says "Let all who take refuge in You be glad; let them sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in You."
Love,

Dear Kara,

We are confident that you are being healed completely, day by day. It was such a joy to see you and spend time with you, Matt, Emma, and Luke over the holidays. What a blessing that the Avastin is working and does not sap all of your energy. We had so much fun playing games and catching up on everything!

We're praying for your complete healing in the new year and your continued encouragement by the Holy Spirit, in His Word and among His people every day.

Much Love,
Gina and Curby

Abba,
You spoke to Abraham:
"It is written --
I have made you a father of many nations, before Him whom he believed, even God, who gives Life to the dead;
I CALL THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE NOT
AS THOUGH THEY WERE."
Romans 4:17
Kara is TOTALLY HEALED;
Kara is COMPLETELY RESTORED,
from the top of her head to the bottom of her feet.
This truth passes from the mind of God to the minds of His People.

"It is written --
Eye has not seen,
Nor Ear heard,
Neither have entered into the Heart
of Man,
The things God has prepared
For Kara who LOVES JESUS SO MUCH!"
1 Corinthians 2:9
Kara is TOTALLY renewed;
COMPLETE Spirit-filled woman WALKING IN THE SPIRIT IN FULL COMMUNION WITH GOD.

Continue to rest, grow stronger and "fight the good fight". You have a wonderful team--doctors, nurses, family, friends and a great multitude of prayer warriors and cheerleaders!
