At the Doctor's Office

Kara is waiting for her appointment with her radiotherapist, the doctor who does her Novalis treatments. She has yet to meet with him, but his nurse did tell her that the Novalis procedure they would do on her lung would require five treatments over two weeks -- so it is not quite as "simple" as the brain Novalis that was just required one treatment.

Kara is in good spirits, and is ready to get this spot taken care of.

We still do not know for sure whether the spots on her lung are cancerous or were just from an infection or other inflammation. And we do not know whether her radiotherapist will recommend going ahead with the Novalis at this point. Since the nurse talked to Kara about the course of treatment, however, that might indicate that the doctors think it best to proceed with the Novalis.

We will update as soon as we know anything.

Prayer Requests:
- Please pray for wisdom for Kara's doctors as they make this decision.
- Please pray for peace for Kara as she awaits this decision and the next phase of treatment.
- Please pray that the cancer be eradicated from Kara's body, permanently.

Thank you.
