WE received the scan results yesterday. Again, not what we wanted to hear. It is still growing. The drugs in this clinical trial are not working, so we will go to Plan B. Plan B is a combination of a chemotherapy drug called vp16, which he would take orally, and a targeted therapy drug called cetuximab, which would be an iv drip once a week. The cetuximab is supposed to target that epidermal growth factor receptor that his tumor expresses. PLEASE PRAY THAT THIS NEW PLAN WILL WORK. We are believing that God is just shutting one door and opening another. PLEASE PRAY FOR GUIDANCE; THAT THIS IS THE TREATMENT WE SHOULD GO TO NEXT.
Connor is feeling a little more tired these days, probably we are finally seeing the effects of the cancer. PRAY GOD WILL STRENGTHEN HIM FOR THIS BATTLE. I know that if the cancer will just start receding, his stamina will get much better.
WE covet your prayers. Thank you so much for storming heaven's gates for Connor. Please pray THAT TAIT AND I WILL BE STEADFAST AND IMMOVABLE, LIKE CHARLES SPURGEON MENTIONS IN THIS QUOTE.
"They stand in the midst of difficulties steadfast and immovable. Those that glorify God must be prepared to meet with many trials. No one can be illustrious before the Lord unless their conflicts are many. If yours is a much tried path then rejoice in it, because you will be better able to display the all-sufficient grace of God. As for His failing you, never dream of it - hate the thought. The God that has been sufficient until now should be trusted to the end."
Still believing,
Joy Cruse
