Yesterday, we met with a surgeon at USC Medical to discuss follow-up treatment options for Denise. We were given two main options, and we didn't like either of them:
Option 1: Surgery and mild radiation
Option 2: Chemotherapy and strong radiation
These two options are based on the strong possibility that there are microscopic remnants of cancer left after the first surgery (in the bone separating Denise's sinus cavity and palate). The surgery would be rough and life-altering in ways. Not fun at all. Alternatively, the stronger radiation would have permanent side effects.
We will meet with the surgeon again in a week to discuss which course of action to take. The doctors don't know for sure whether there really is any cancer left, so we are asking the Lord for guidance.
Prayer points:
That God would light the path before us and reveal the best course of action.
That Denise would feel better. She is still recovering from the first surgery and doesn't feel well a lot of the time.
That God would completely heal Denise (and make that evident) so that no follow-up treatment would be necessary.
It is good to be in a place where our dependence is fully on God. Denise has great doctors, but they don't have all the answers. Our hope is in the Lord. Thank you for praying with us!
Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. (Psalms 20:7)
