Only God

I don’t want to write this because I don’t want it to be real. The PET scan results came back today and the cancer has spread and is now in Metisha’s liver, stomach, intestines, rib and neck. As Metisha wisely said, Only God can fix this.


I wish I had the words in me to make this better. I wish I had a way to instantly make all of this cancer go away. I wish I had a way to see the future. I wish. But right now Metisha is still ready to fight and as long as she wants to fight, we WILL stand next to her and fight. And right now the best weapon we have is prayer and prayer is Metisha’s only request. There have been cancer miracles before and we still believe Metisha can have a cancer miracle. Lance Armstrong had cancer in multiple places and now he’s cancer free. There is still hope and we have to cling to hope.

Hope and prayer must be our foundation.

So now Metisha and Mark have to cycle through the options for the next steps. The immediate discussions are around seeing a breast cancer specialist in Dallas, going back to MDAnderson and pursuing trials.

We are praying for:

• A quick recovery from Tuesday’s liver bead treatment. The chemo has hit her so hard she’s admitting she’s not feeling well.
• Wisdom in choosing the next steps and for God to quickly open the right doors and shut the wrong ones.
• No matter what the next option is, Metisha can continue to have the active life she wants. This is the most important thing to Metisha.
• Comfort, peace, hope, reassurance in God’s plan.
• Metisha to be 100% cancer free here on earth.
• No matter what the next option is, Metisha to still have tens of thousands of good, happy days not clouded by the storm of cancer.

As I am writing this blog update, I just got a text from Mark: It’s RAINING in Forth Worth for the first time since mid May! Throughout Metisha’s journey we believe God has given us two signs of a promise of healing: Rain and Red Cardinals. Thank you God for giving us rain!
