Tisha had the procedure today to burn off the remaining spot on her liver. The spot was far enough away from her colon and the doctor was able to burn a 1 cm diameter around the spot. Everything went well, and she was released from the hospital mid afternoon!
Her expansion on Tuesday also went well. She is now an A cup! Her next expansion is in three weeks. Grow ta ta’s, grow!

Go Live Life …
Metisha has been making her doctor rounds. I’m calling her the ATM machine because she sees at least one doctor a week and every time she sees one, it's a co-pay.
She saw her breast surgeon, Dr. Bussey, this week. She said she is doing great and she doesn’t have to see Dr. Bussey for an entire year! Dr. Bussey told Metisha to “Go Live Life”. What awesome words!
Metisha was supposed to have her first expansion of her spacers in her chest tomorrow, but it got pushed to Tuesday. Continue to pray that this will be a pain free process.
Metisha also saw a doctor this week about the remaining liver spot. She will have outpatient surgery on the 25th to burn the spot off. Pray for this procedure. The spot is very close to her colon. If they decide it is too close, they will not be able to burn the spot. So pray specifically that the spot is far enough away from the colon.
Her last appointment with the ENT showed that there is still some fungus remaining. Pray that the remaining fungus will be removed so that she does not have to have another scraping surgery.
Also continue to pray for her sick leave. A committee met yesterday to determine if she will be accepted to the sick bank.
I got to spend last weekend with Mark and Metisha. Tisha and I heard a great sermon on Sunday about the spiritual battles that occur. We started talking about how we have been afraid to celebrate that she is cancer free because it seems like every time we have gotten good news, something bad is around the corner. And that’s when we realized that this is Satan’s attack. God gave us a promise that Metisha is cancer free and Satan does not want us to believe in it or proclaim it. Satan already tried to rob us of our truth once, but God said it was fungus, not cancer. So it is time for us to start celebrating and proclaiming that God performed a miracle and healed Metisha of stage four cancer. She is HIS miracle!

Back at Work
Metisha went back to work last Tuesday (yes, I know I’m late on this breaking news, sorry!). She is VERY happy to be back at work. She is feeling good, but still has to be careful about lifting too much weight.
For now, everything is quiet and status quo. Metisha will continue to check-in with her doctors, especially her oncologist. She has a follow-up appointment with the ENT doctor this week and the plastic surgeon will begin expanding her spacers in her chest next Friday. The expansion process will be her main activity for the next several months. This can be a very uncomfortable process so you can pray for God’s protection from pain.
Metisha found the first shirt she is going to buy once reconstruction is complete. It says, “Yeah they’re fake. The real ones almost killed me!”
