Good Test Results

The PET Scan results are very encouraging and reassuring. The lung spots have just about gone away completely. The spot in the spleen is gone. The adrenal place is smaller, and the liver spot is smaller. And it looks like there is nothing in the brain. They'll meet with Dr. Lynch tomorrow to go over the results. So the treatment does seem to be working, and the tumors are sensitive to it. Very good news! Kara was pretty anxious throughout the day waiting for the results, so she is quite relieved to have gotten some good news.

Prayer Requests:
- Please pray for continued hope, peace, and comfort for Kara during this time.
- Please pray that Kara continues to tolerate her chemotherapy well.
- Please pray that the cancer is eradicated from Kara's body, permanently.

Thank you for your prayers and words of encouragement. We are very glad to have heard the good news, that the new treatment plan is working, especially since this treatment has been much less difficult for Kara to tolerate.
