From Duane Miller 10-23-12
Thank You for the update Duane. We pray for Donnie and for you too, daily.
"Hello Onnalee
Donnie's next appointment for treatment at KU
Medical Center is November 12. We were notified today of the appointment date.
The first angiogram or mapping was to prepare the liver for SIR-Spheres
treatment This coming appointment is to actually administer SIR -Spheres
microspheres. The procedure enables radiation to be sent direct into the liver
tumors, so exposure to the remaining healthy liver tissue is
minimized. Most of the radiation is delivered to
the tumor in the first two weeks following treatment.
Chemotherapy has not been getting desired results
for Donnie. The cancer count has been holding in a high range. The plan was for
liver surgery after her last chemo break. The plan was scraped when her cancer
count jumped very high and fast. The radiation treatment is to boost the effort
to kill most of the tumor. In a small number of cases the tumor is reduced
to a size allowing surgery to get it all. Of the treatment options, this is
the one that Donnie is a candidate for. Chemotherapy is expected to continue in
combination with the radiation..
Your prayers, especially on November 12 for
comfort and peace for Donnie, for efficiency of the procedure; including a
successful result of the treatment, will be
appreciated.
Many thanks
Duane Miller"
Dear Lord,
As Donnie and Duane await Donnie's appointment for treatment on Nov. 12th at KU Med Center, let us offer You all of our anxieties for their good and your glory.
Calm them in their worries, knowing these don’t add wisdom but rather stress to this situation.
Enlighten the medical team, though the power of your Spirit, to make wise decisions as Donnie has her treatment.
Help them as they turn to You in these fragile, painful moments, to continue to look towards You for grace and strength.
Comfort us in seeking you now as we place all our concerns in your loving hands as we say “Thy Will Be Done.” Amen
