Metisha teaches 5th grade in the Fort Worth school district. She is an excellent teacher! She has a knack for being a fun teacher while maintaining a high level of respect from her students. Her students have been very uplifting through her cancer war. They celebrated with her when the brain scan came back clean. They were intrigued and excited to learn about and see her chemo port. And when her hair fell out, three of her girls cut off their pony tails and brought them to Tisha so she could make a wig! The kids have been great and definitely keep her spirits up!

The hardest part of the war for Metisha has been losing her hair. She has beautiful blonde and it would be hard for any woman to give up her hair. Thankfully she found a great wig. We’ve had people ask us when her hair will fall out and some people have even made bald jokes in front of her not realizing she has a wig on! Everyday Metisha is more comfortable with her new look and continues to heal with laughter.

Metisha has received so much support from family, friends, co-workers and neighbors. But I wanted to brag on her #1 supporter – Mark. He has been absolutely amazing through this journey. He has been at every doctor’s appointment, every scan, every round of chemo. He is strong. He makes her follow the rules. He loves her every moment of every day. This little sister could not ask for a better supporter for her big sis!

Metisha will get her 3rd round of Pac-Mans (chemo) on Friday. Three weeks after that she will have a new round of photo shoots (scans) to see how much progress the Pac-Mans have made on destroying the cancer on her liver and the breast tumor. Metisha knows that God is taking care of her through her cancer war and that he is using the Pac-Mans to heal her.

Continue to fight Metisha’s cancer with the most powerful weapon we have – prayer. Pray that God will again protect Tisha from the side effects of chemo and that she will experience no pain from the white blood cell booster shot. Pray that the scans will show God has removed all the cancer from her liver and that the breast tumor is gone. Pray that God will guide the doctors in the next step of the war. Praise God for Mark and the unbelievable support he gives Tisha. Praise God for the wisdom he gives the doctors. And praise God for Metisha and the beauty she brings to all our lives. She’s going to kick me for that last but I’m typing it anyway!
