Markers Slightly Up

Tisha got her blood work back today and it showed her markers to be up 40 points which is a slight increase and not an alarming jump. This could be an indicator that the current drugs are not working but does not concretely mean the cancer has grown or spread. She will now have a PET scan on Thursday to see where the cancer is and the results of that scan will determine whether she continues with the current treatment plans or has to change course. Tisha is not upset about these results and is still smiling and focusing on her new school year.

This is not the news we have been praying for, but it isn’t necessarily bad news either so we continue to pray diligently. Metisha feels strongly that these test results do not affect her outcome because God is in control. We have faith in him and faith in his ability to heal her. Metisha also feels strongly that she needs to make dedicated healthy lifestyle changes with her diet to help fight her cancer. So we need to keep praying and lifting Metisha up in this area. Pray for:
· The PET scan to provide good news – no growth or even reduction of the cancer
· Metisha to continue to feel good
· Metisha to conquer her diet a become a veggie and fruit lover and sugar hater

Keep smiling with us! We are so thankful for your support!
