Round Five

Metisha gets round five of the Pac-Mans this Friday. It is amazing how much the breast tumor has been reduced since round four and we are continually encouraged that the Pac-Mans are doing their job.


The PA at the oncologist office says there’s a good chance that Tisha will be done with chemo after the six rounds which means she will be finished with chemo before her birthday. Metisha’s prayer has been to be cancer free by her birthday, so continue to pray that God will use round five and six to completely destroy all remaining cancer! Also pray for wisdom for the oncologist as he decides the next step to take after the sixth round of Pac-Mans.


Metisha came to Tulsa last weekend and we had a great weekend. We did some shopping, ate too much, spent time with great friends and as always had some funny cancer moments. Every once in a while Metisha will “play the cancer card” to get something she wants but it’s always done in jest and we always laugh. We asked her how long after she’s cancer free did she think she could play the cancer card. Her response was, “until my hair grows back long enough for a pony tail.” So now we’re praying that her hair grows back quickly :) Saturday night we took a drive around the lake. It was a beautiful evening in with perfect temperatures so Tisha wanted to drive with the windows down but the wind kept tangling her wig. She finally had enough of it and took her wig off, stuck her bald head out the window and let the air blow over her scalp! She had the biggest smile on her face!


Pray for Metisha and her fifth round of Pac-Mans. Pray that Friday will go quickly and that she will experience no side effects. And continue to pray for total healing by her birthday – July 28th.

yay for taking the wig off! It's soooo freeing! And yay for being done by her birthday. I hope she's able to reach that goal. Tell her I think she's amazing...I'm done with my treatment too, and she's doing great!
