We finally were able to speak with Mary’s oncologist this afternoon. Following the PET scan he ordered both an echo-cardiogram and a bronchoscope to look at her lungs. She has been diagnosed with ‘small cell lung cancer’. This is a rapid growing cancer that, per her doctor, responds well to chemotherapy. Today was her first treatment and she will have three treatments (Mon- Wed) every three weeks. While this is not what we wanted to hear, Mary has assured us that she has her gloves on and will fight this with the help of the Lord. We were fortunate to have a number of friends from our church here to pray for the family and especially for Mary. Jim and Kathy are still here and can relay their own thoughts as to how things are here.
We know that only through the healing hands of the Lord, Mary will overcome a new hurdle.
