Re: Prayers for AndyC's wife
I just got another update from Andy.
Scans are completed, and her oncologist has determined that the cancer has not spread beyond the involved lung and lymph nodes. She will be starting a regiment of chemotherapy and radiation therapy next week. For now, surgery is not being considered.
Her chemo treatments will consist of 6 days on (M-F + M) and 2-3 weeks off to recover before starting another round. Details of radiation treatments still TBD.
As far as the lesions in her breasts, after the chemo there may not be any need for further surgical intervention.
Andy said the oncologist was ecstatic and practically hopping from one foot to the other when giving them the news. So this is a good report.

Re: Prayers for AndyC's wife
Sorry, I forgot to update......
I spoke with Andy Thursday morning. They met with her oncologist, and there is some hope. Yes, she is still very sick, but there is a course of treatment available to them, and the oncologist indicated that this was something that can be beaten. He was able to give Andy and his wife some encouragement.
God is good.

Re: Prayers for AndyC's wife
Andy just gave me an update. The biopsy results were not encouraging, but at least they now know what they are dealing with: stage 3 lung cancer with spread to the lymph nodes.

Prayers for AndyC's wife
Andy said it would be OK for me to post this. I don't want to get into too much detail, but she had a small benign tumor discovered not too long ago, for which a basic surgical procedure was planned. Followup tests found a much larger tumor elsewhere. Subsequent MRI found what appear to be metastases in one lung, and again, another test showed disease in a lymph node in her chest.
All of these things have stacked up very quickly, and they are trying to stay ahead of the curve. She is due to have a lung biopsy shortly, and then they'll know what comes next.
When I told him we'd be praying for them, he said that every little bit helps, so if you all might join us in this, we pray for her doctors to have clear minds and gifted hands, and for her recovery to be quick, comfortable, and complete.
