Linda had the CT scan to determine the condition of her lungs today. You will recall that the x-ray yesterday showed some deterioration over the last 2-3 weeks. The CT scan today revealed that Linda's condition had actually improved since yesterday! Thank you so much for your prayers!
There are still major concerns, though. Blood tests from yesterday showed that Linda's liver enzymes - elevated as of last week - have actually gone higher at some points. Also, Linda's cholesterol, triglycerides, and sugar all remain high. The sugar is of particular concern to her oncologist. We have been encouraged to talk with our GP about that. We are so grateful for a GP like Dr. Patterson - what a wonderful team in Sanford!
Because of her liver count, Linda is unable to take Temodar at the present. We are seriously considering moving to a more natural approach to fighting this cancer. We are just in the beginning stages of thinking/praying about this approach and we VERY much want you to pray with us about this decision. It does not mean we will abandon all medicine/chemo, but we may be approaching a point where we have no other choice. Could this be the way God is leading us to such an approach? I would imagine some of you are thrilled at such thinking while others are horrified! Regardless of whether you are on either pole or somewhere in the middle, would you pray for us? As you can tell, we are quite unsure right now, but we are open to whatever the Lord may have for us.
