Cancer Update

Matthew's mom has been dealing with quite a lot of fluid retention for several months now. The doctors put her in the hospital over a week ago to insert a stint that would allow the fluid to move into her blood stream. Before they did the procedure, they decided to do an MRI. They have noticed for a while now that there are spots on her liver. They continued to monitor these spots. They were not growing so the doctors thought there was nothing to worry about. This week they did a biopsy and discovered the cancer has moved to her liver.

She will be undergoing another kind of chemo for this cancer they just found. I am unclear if she will be undergoing two kinds of chemo - the one she's been on for the last six months as well as a new one, or just the new one.

Matthew said her spirits are high. We would ask you to continue to pray for her body, her spirits, as well as the rest of the family.
