Chemo #9 & biopsy results

While we were all hoping for a black and white, clear result from today, we got a lot of gray. We know that the spot on the liver they saw on the CT scan was new cancer growth. It is still breast cancer. They are going to do more research on the biopsy they took to decide what treatment to pursue next.

Leanne met with Katie, one of Dr. Bloom's Nurse Practitioner's, before chemo today. She reminded us that this is a chronic disease and it might be chronic for a while. This journey is a marathon, not a sprint. We have to continue to trust God and His timing. We don't need gimmick's, fad diets, herbal treatments, or more religious exercises. We have God and He is more than enough. He is more than capable of anything we can ask or imagine.

With that being said, we don't really know more than that at this point. What we do know is that more than any other form of help, we need your prayers. Please allow God to use this journey to grow your prayer life. I know I can speak from experience and can say that God has used Leanne's journey to challenge me to pray on all occasions. Praying in joy. Praying in fear. Praying in thankfulness. No matter what comes our way, we can pray.

Please pray for us:

• Identifying the cause of the low grade fevers
• Pain to be managed all the time and to identify the source of the pain
• Side effects of the chemo and pain meds to be minimal
• Maximum effectiveness of the chemo meds
• Wisdom for Dr. Bloom as he makes treatment plans
