Today was a day of dark waters. Christy went in and reviewed the results of her MRI with her oncologist. Although the data wasn't concrete enough to give definite results, all signs are pointing to this being a Stage 3 cancer, rather than what was previously believed to be Stage 2. Tomorrow Christy will have a bone scan and CAT scan, later a PET scan, and by the end of next week will know for sure where all the cancer is.
She met with her surgeon today and set the date of her surgery to be April 30th. She will then undergo 21 weeks of chemotherapy, followed by radiation.
Christy listed two specific prayer requests, and asks that you join her in going before the throne to ask these two things: First, that the cancer would not spread. As the Lord sets the limits to the oceans, we beg that He would set limits to her cancer. Second, she asks that we pray that the Lord would heal and remove the cancer that already exists.
Hope and Courage- the two things needed right now. As the popular hymn goes, "strength for today, and bright hope for tomorrow....great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto thee"
Thank you again for joining in on this battle. Again, my email is kjberkenkemper@liberty.edu. Please contact me with any questions or even notes of encouragement for Christy and Jason and I will be sure to pass it on. I will let you know soon how you can help the Curries as they begin the fight against cancer.
