But two things have to happen before she can begin chemo. First she has to have the port inserted which will be used to administer the chemo. She has a consultation with another doctor on Monday who will insert this port. Then on Wednesday she will have an echogram done to ensure her heart is strong enough for the chemo. There is nothing suspicious about her heart; this is routine. So, it’s off for more testing and to meet another new doctor.
Tisha asked the nurses if chemo will cure her cellulite also since it eliminates masses. The nurses just laughed and said if it did, they would all be on chemo!
We are praying that:
The chemo will blast all the cancer out of her body (both the liver and the ta ta) in these first 3 treatments.
The port can be inserted quickly so she can begin chemo quickly.
God will totally and completely heal her of her cancer.
Speaking from almost 27 years of experience with Tisha, this cancer doesn’t stand a chance! Between her Karber strong body and bull headedness and her Ewbank temper and fight, this cancer is a goner!

Metisha,

Metisha,
Please know that prayers are coming your way from Arizona! My heart is with you in this. Regan, please continue to update us. It is so hard to see a friend, teammate, and sister-in-Christ go through such a hard time, so the posts help me know how to pray!
Love, Hayley (Boofy)
Metisha,
Cristi and Jason Martens told me about you...I am 30, diagnosed with BC at 20 and am in my last phases (still on chemo then radiation) I wanted to let you know that I'm here if you need a young friend to talk to! Cristi gave me your email so I'll probably share my story with you there, but my blog is Kari@morozfamily.com and there's everything on there from my adventures in motherhood to the crappy side effects to the blessings (yes, blessings!) I have encountered while fighting this beast! And I am WINNING! You will too!
All my love!
Kari
Metisha,
We just wanted to let you and Mark know that Ashley, Baylor, Wade and I are praying for you. Actually Wade does more drooling than anything, but we think of it as praying. We know God is in control and will carry you through.

Metisha,
Julie and the kids and I are all praying for you everyday and we think about you alot. Our church in Elk City is also praying for you. I know that God will use this for good and we are always praying first for you to be completely healed, and also for you and Mark to be blessed in your relationship to Christ as you go through this. From the looks of this blog you have alot of people that love you who are praying everyday for you, that's so awesome, God is good, keep your mind on that Truth! Tell Mark we are praying for him too, I know it's got to be tough for him too right now. When Triston was going through his cancer I remember having all kinds of emotions, but it was finally when I realized that I was not in control, and God was, that was when I felt a burden lift off me and faith finally really started to kick in. For quite a while there I was confusing my will power and my desire to control the situation with my faith. I thought my will WAS my faith, but not until I was exhausted of trying to control the situation was I able to fall in the comfort of God's control did I finally find any relief, peace, and the strength I needed to make it through. I hope and pray that you and Mark are finding this with your walk with Christ through this tough time. I'm sure you know that God loves you and you can't be in any better place than in His care, and we know you are there because the prayers of many people are being lifted up for you every day. We love you and hope to see you soon!
Dax, Julie, Triston, Zoe, Xander and Evan
Mark and Metisha,
I cannot come up with the right words to begin to express my remorse for your unfortunate situation. However, I wanted to let you know that you and your family are in my and my family's thoughts and prayers everyday.
I know you can and will overcome.
I have misplaced Mark's number and would appreciate if someone could email me he and Metisha's contact info. My email is diesslaw@yahoo.com. Thanks.

Metisha,
This is Clara. 27 years and CLEAN!
In 1980 the DR.said "you have 3 years" Yes, that was the "stats"for breast cancer. I know the GOD who created you and me and He has HIS own "Plans"!
I am waiting to hear of your Journey and exited, Yes, the "chemo journey" is not pleasant, I know, and understand,
2 years the first week of each month, the old fashioned way!
Enough about chemo.
Eccl. 4 :9,10 Two are better than one--for if they fall, one will pick up the other. But, pity the one who is alone when he falls, for he hath no one to help him up!
Thanks, Regan, for being a "pickup" sister, and opening the door for us. Talking to GOD every day, Clara
TISH AND MARK,
YOU BOTH ARE IN MY PRAYERS. IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO FOR YOU GUYS LET ME KNOW. I AM SO GLAD I WAS TOLD ABOUT YOUR BLOG SPOT. IF YOU ARE ANYTHING LIKE THE BERTHA KARBER I TOOK CARE OF YOU WILL HAVE MANY YEARS AHEAD OF YOU. I HAVE NEVER MET A WOMAN WHO FOUGHT AS HARD AS SHE DID TO PROVE US ALL WRONG. WHAT AND WONDERFUL PERSON. YOU ARE JUST LIKE HER.
Hey Guys,
Just wanted you to know you are in our prayers and alot of other people here in Cherokee, Ok. We know you both are fighters and will win this battle. After all we need to go back to Jamaica and celebrate your 10 year anniversary and a whole bunch more, like 15, 20, 25, and etc. We love you both.
Uncle Stephen and Aunt Mary
