New Chemo on Thursday

Metisha had new scans and the results confirmed her fears that the chemo hadn’t been working. The cancer in her liver and lymph nodes has gotten worse. It was not the news we wanted to hear, but we were not surprised.

So she starts a new chemo on Thursday at 9 am. Her doctor said this is the last chemo they have to try at Texas Oncology and she needs to start deciding plans for the summer. She can go back to MD Anderson in Houston and see if there are trials available or there is a doctor in Dallas that may have some options for her. Pray for discernment for Metisha and Mark to know what the best move is for the summer.

While this is all sobering news, we are praying that this is the LAST chemo she ever needs because God is quickly going to perform a miracle and heal her of all cancer. While conventional medicine may not be able to heal her, God can perform a miracle! Please pray for God to perform a healing miracle very soon in Metisha’s life.

There has been good news. Metisha was quickly become extremely fatigued and having troubles eating. However after changing her pain medicine the fatigue has greatly improved and she has been able to eat more. Also, even though the cancer has gotten worse in her liver, the liver is still functioning which is a huge praise. And Metisha was approved for the Sick Bank at work!

This weekend is the Susan B Komen Race for the Cure in Fort Worth and you can support the Welsh Warriors by clicking here and donating to a team member. Race for the Cure is an incredible experience and we are excited to walk again this year.

Please keep praying with us, we know God hears our prayers:
• Pray for God to perform a miracle of physical healing in Metisha soon
• Pray for wisdom as Metisha and Mark evaluate next options
• Pray that this new chemo will have no side effects
• Pray that Metisha will feel good enough to Race for the Cure on Saturday
