Kara met with Dr. Lynch earlier this week, and Dr. Lynch was pleased with how she is doing. She had a bone density scan to check on whether the chemotherapy has leached some calcium out of her bones. Kara was able to have her chemotherapy today (woohoo!), and she and Matt are headed to Waco for the cancer survivors' conference. Hopefully they will have an enjoyable and informative time. Kara says that she's supposed to participate in a ropes course tomorrow morning, so she may be in for a workout!
The plan is for Kara to receive a few more rounds of chemo, and then to have more scans done to check on the status of the tumors. This will probably happen in March -- we will let you know more precisely when as we know.
Praises:
- Thank you God for Dr. Lynch's encouraging report.
- Thank you God that Kara has been able to continue with her chemotherapy this week.
- Thank you God that Kara has been feeling "good" lately, and able to do more of the things she wants to do.
- Thank you God for the continued support and prayers of Kara's family and friends, including those who have never met Kara, but have heard of her prayer needs and have been praying for her.
Prayer Requests:
- Please pray that Kara can continue her next few rounds of chemotherapy uninterrupted.
- Please pray for good scan results on the upcoming scans.
- Please pray that the cancer be eradicated from Kara's body, permanently.
Thank you. Thank you all, again, for your unflagging support of Kara and her family. We have reached the second anniversary of Kara's diagnosis, and this page has had over 24,000 hits -- that's about 1,000 hits a month! It is so reassuring and comforting for us to know that there are many people caring and praying for Kara. We are thankful for your continued presence in Kara's life during this long, challenging road to healing.
