Metisha had chemo today. Her blood work showed her cancer markers have risen dramatically to a bad range which means the current chemo just isn’t working. So it’s time for new scans, and then to evaluate the next option.
We are sad, but not shocked by this news. Metisha had a feeling the chemo wasn’t working because she’s been having more pain in her stomach and liver areas and her hair has been growing. We are praying that the scans can be done quickly and the next treatment can be very quickly identified and started. Most of all we are praying the next treatment option will work and fight the cancer back down quickly, very quickly.
Tisha has been staring down death for a long time now and her perception of death is certainly different than most. A friend was telling her of an acquaintance who died suddenly of a heart attack. Metisha’s quick response was, “Lucky!” She quickly realized what she had said and apologized, but I think we can all understand her perspective. Metisha says she can be ok with dying; she just doesn’t want to die from cancer! I love her humor and her honest approach! She is a fighter, and she wants to beat this!
Keep praying for our fighter. Pray for the scans to happen quickly, to have results that are a good surprise given her cancer markers, and that the next treatment can be identified and begin quickly. Pray that the cancer will be healed from her lymph nodes in her neck/chest/stomach and in her liver.

Metisha, you are blessing so many people with your courage and strength. Any time I get down about my condition, I think of you. My soul lightens immediately. May the Lord bless you and keep you in the palm of His hand. You are in our thoughts and prayers!
