Over...For Now

Hey friends and family! I hope you are staying safe and well during this difficult season. I wanted to catch you up on where I am medically. After a few appointments with my oncologist, it has become clear to her and to me that my body is wearing down to a large degree physically. I have been taking chemo since November 2019 consistently, and that is one reason for it. After taking all things into consideration, my oncologist decided chemo is over...for now. I say for now because it will be something I revisit later. These chemo drugs have served to work, in the sense of, shrinking the tumor I have to a small degree. The hope is that I get some time to rest. I currently have very little energy, and the last 3 years, 10 months have taken a toll on me. Please pray for rest and strength.


In response to stopping chemo, surgery is now on the table. The tumor under my left arm will be removed if scans show it to be the only cancer remaining. Scans are not always completely accurate, but the mindset here is that after testing, if no other areas except my arm show up as cancer, we can move on with surgery. If additional spots show cancer, surgery will not be an option. Either way, my cancer diagnosis stands as stage 4 (terminal). Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, I will have testing. Please pray for clear scans.


In the midst of Covid-19, I am a high risk for catching the virus if exposed. My Mom and I have been quarantining together. I only leave the house to go to the hospital. In addition to cancer, I have other conditions that add to my high risk. As we all pray for a vaccine and for protection from Covid, let us pray for protection for one another.


Thank you for praying for me and encouraging me. I am grateful to be a child of a loving Heavenly Father who fights for me and is strong for me.



Grace & Peace,


Melissa
