My Dad, Donald found out earlier this month that he's got three more tumors on his lungs. The doctors have taken him off his cancer meds for now, but will be starting him on different ones soon. His cyber knife surgery doctor wants to wait and watch. He wants to take new scans the first week of January to see if more tumors have appeared or if the existing ones have grown. To operate on the tumors as they are (very small) they would risk damaging lung tissue that they may otherwise be able to spare (if the tumors were a little larger, making them easier to deal with). Every time they operate with the cyber knife on him, they have to inject (by needle) a small gold fleck onto each of the tumors so the cyber knife machine knows where to zap. Every time they inject those flecks, he is open to infection. Then when they operate, if they zap some of the lung tissue in the process of zapping the cancerous tissue, then they are at risk for compromising the lungs altogether. It's risky, so they're waiting and watching for now. He nees all the prayer we can give him.
I believe God can heal him of this cancer completely. Let's all pray for healing. Show him that we care and we believe in God's ultimate healing power! Thanks to all of you who are praying for him.
