March 20, 2007 - Once again we need you

I can hardly type this out, but we so desperately need God and your prayers that I must write this. Though we thought everything looked good, we got the results back tonight of the bone marrow biopsy, which we thought would be negative because nothing showed up on the bone scan Monday. However, it was not negative. The cancer has spread to her bones and she now is considered to have stage 4 cancer. Surgery is no longer an option right now.

She now has 3 more tests she must undergo. The MRI of her spine is tomorrow. The MIBG scan (we'll explain this later) is next week. But the one we most fear is coming up in a few days. It deals with the tissue of the cancer. She will need to have a surgical sample of the tumor taken for evaluation under the microscope. It is this test that will have a major impact on her prognosis, so please keep her in your prayers.

I have felt lost at times, angry, sad, and even peaceful. Right now Erin and I both are simply scared, but doing everything we can to hold on to God through this.

Jason, Erin & Keira
