Liver Specialist Appointment

Today mom went for her appointment with the Liver specialist. As far as the Scan goes the liver specialist said today that there was nothing else within her body that he could see at this time, final results are still to come. There are 3 tumors in the liver one very large one and 2 smaller ones in a different area of the liver. To do surgery right now is not an option. This means however that mom will have to undergo 3 months of Chemo therapy. Mom would require a dramatic response to the Chemo therapy before surgery on the liver could be considered. Mom has an appointment with an oncologist( Cancer doctor) on July 7, to decide further treatment of the colon cancer, as well as the tumors in the liver. The goal now is to shrink the tumors in the liver as well as in the colon before operation is possible. Please pray that mom will respond very well to the Chemo, that the tumors will shrink, so surgery maybe possible. The liver specialist commented to mom that all hope is not lost, and to continue to be positive. Please also pray for peace and patience as we wait to see the oncologist, and that mom will continue to feel well, and not loose weight. Loosing weight is a struggle for mom during stressful times and also the tumors demand a lot from the body, so please lift mom up in prayer that she will want to EAT!!! We are so thankful for the kind words and prayers that we have been receiving, keep them coming!! We feel the strength that your prayer provide, and we feel God's grace and favor even in these trying circumstances.

With Love in Christ,

Alida, Wilma and Family.
