M.D. Anderson Update

First of all, thank you so much for your participation in the prayer chain over the past two days. The response was overwhelming.

Megann and her family met with doctors at M.D. Anderson for most of the day today. Basically, Megann has two types of cancer. She still has clear cell carcinoma and also endometroid cancer. The endometroid cancer was responding to the Doxil (chemotherapy), but the clear cell carcinoma was not. Her CA125 has been steadily dropping over the past few weeks because of the response of the second type of cancer. They did a CAT scan on Tuesday and saw new growth in her liver and pelvis. They will take her off Doxil and put her on a new type of chemo that she will take weekly (three weeks on and one week off). There are few side effects to this new type of chemo. Nothing was shown in her shoulder when they checked it out the other day, but the doctor said that sometimes if you have cancer in your liver, it can cause shoulder pain. They are admitting her tonight to run tests because of side pain that she is experiencing. She will be able to return home and get the treatments here. The doctors from M.D. Anderson want to see her back in December. Please continue to pray for Megann.

Megann's Prayer Chain!

**Thank you to everyone for signing up to pray for Megann! She is very humbled that so many people are praying on her behalf. She will leave for M.D. Anderson on Tuesday morning. They wanted her to come early to get lab work and tests completed. Jon will meet her, and her appointment is scheduled for Thursday at 11:00 with her doctor.

"Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen." Ephesians 3:20-21
