Great Results

Kara's scans revealed only one new tumor -- a small tumor in her brain -- and that all her existing tumors are shrinking. She and Matt will meet with Dr. Lynch on Tuesday to go over the results more thoroughly, and discuss what her treatment plan will be. Most likely she will receive Novalis again on the brain tumor. We are so thankful that the Novalis procedure is available, and has been so successful in treating Kara's tumors!

Praises;
- Thank you God for the good scan results.
- Thank you God for all of the developments in technology and medicine that have been so beneficial to Kara, and for all the doctors and nurses who have been treating Kara these past two-plus years.
- Thank you God for the blessings in Kara's life that sometimes get overlooked when we focus on what Kara's needs are. Thank you for giving Kara such a loving, supportive husband, and two wonderful children -- she loves her family so much. Thank you for all of the prayers and encouragement for Kara from her family, friends, church, and "blog friends."

Prayer Requests:
- Please pray for an encouraging treatment plan from Dr. Lynch.
- Please pray that Kara's blood counts are high enough to continue with her chemotherapy.
- Please pray that the cancer be eradicated from Kara's body, permanently.

Thank you.

Kara, so pleased to hear your latest results. Keep fighting and we'll keep praying. I know the Novalis will do it's usual work on the new tumor. Enjoy Spring and all its beauty with your family. We had, I hope, our last snow storm yesterday. All our love and prayers, your PA family.
