Kara will have the whole-brain radiation performed tomorrow. This morning, the staff are doing some prepwork with her for the radiation. We don't know what chemotherapy will be tried next.
Kara is able to speak a bit more easily today. She continues to have vertigo and associated nausea, so is trying to stay still. She is being given drugs to help with those symptoms, which will hopefully dissipate after the radiation.
Prayer Requests:
- Please pray for comfort and peace for Kara during her hospital stay.
- Please pray that the effects of the stroke diminish.
- Please pray that the treatment plan can go forward as quickly as possible.
- Please pray that the cancer be 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, Matt, Emma and Luke,
I will pray that the treatment goes well and that Kara will soon resume her role as loving mother, wife and devoted caretaker.
You are all in my thoughts.
