Since Michelle will commence her chemotherapy treatments next Tuesday afternoon, we wanted to hold our next prayer meeting on Monday evening. We will gather in our home at 6:30 PM: if you would like to synchronize your prayers with us from a distant location, 6:45 or 7:00 would be a good time to start.
As I noted in my last posting, Michelle has been experiencing pain related to an apparent tumor in her T11 vertebra. In the last few days this pain has increased, so an MRI scan was performed yesterday (Friday Jan 16). The scan revealed cancer both in the bone and in the marrow, but there was no nerve impingement present. In order to reduce related pain by reducing the size of these tumors, Michelle is scheduled for targeted radiation on Friday, January 23. If an earlier appointment opens up, we intend to move up her appointment.
In the mean time, Dr. Marschke told us to double Michelle's pain medication. So far the new level seems to be helping, but it is definitely affecting Michelle's alertness.
