Another Ketty update

Dear Friends,

This is the quickest follow-up to an "Aunt Ketty Update" I have written since we started this journey!  At last writing I stated that she would have two more chemotherapy treatments and CT scans. However, upon completion of her most recent chemotherapy on January 23rd, her oncologist informed her that there would not be another chemotherapy treatment mid-February, but instead there would be three CT scans (brain, chest, abdomen) completed next Friday, February 6th.

We are considering this good news and spurs another specific prayer request. Please pray that there would be no sign of cancer on any of the scans. With clear scans, her chemotherapy treatment will be considered finished and she will enter the cancer-free stage. Of course, there will be periodic scans and blood work to check that her status remains cancer-free, but the difficult portion of the journey will be complete. So, I sincerely request that you remember her this week in your prayers. 

We have requested from the doctor some clarity on whether or not all three scans can be completed in one day or if we might need to begin a day or two earlier than the 6th. Last time Ketty was told by the techs that she could not undergo more than one scan a day due to the toxic levels of contrast material required for more than one scan. 

Your prayers are appreciated!! Again, we'll keep you up to date. 

Ketty has weathered this recent round very well and will be getting some blood drawn on Friday to check her progress. She continues to be overwhelmed by the support you have given her.

At this point I do not know exactly what we will need financially. When I have more specifics I will inform you.

THANK YOU,

Mary Britton
