Pet Scan Result

We met with Dr. Holen on Wednesday. Dr. Holen show the pet scan on the computer. It showed that Matt had a tumor on his bladder, a spot of cancer growing in his right abdomen and some cancer has gotten in his pelvic bone. Dr Holen was waiting to hear from Dr. Sugarbaker as to the next step.

Dr. Holen got a chance to talk to Dr. Sugarbaker yesterday. Dr. Sugarbaker decided that the tumor on Matt's bladder is a very difficult surgery. He felt it was best to try and use chemo to shrink the tumor and then Matt would decide if he would want to do surgery. If Matt were to decide to do surgery he would end up with a colostomy for sure.

Matt is going to start with chemo next week for several months. He will go once a week to Johnson creek cancer center. He will get the chemo through an IV for an hour each week. Then he will have another CT scan to see if the chemo is shrinking the tumor at all.

I ask all to pray for Matt. Pray for the chemo to work and shrink the tumor and disappear! Please pray for a miracle for Matt!

God the father of our Lord Jesus Christ, you sent your son bring healing.

We pray for all of you who are broken in body, mind, and spirit.

Give Health and wholeness to all persons. Bless the work of all who care for sick.

Strengthen them through the Holy Spirit.
