Dr. Sutton, in Indy, met with us today and recommended a hysterectomy to remove the latest spread of my cancer. The procedure was scheduled for August 24 in Indy at St. Vincent Hospital because the doctor will be leaving on vacation and doesn’t have any earlier openings. He also increased my pain patch medication to help me get through this time. We weren’t thrilled with this wait time, so he recommended we talk to Dr. Aggarwal to see if she has any other options or doctors in FW who can do this procedure. After the holiday, we’ll contact her for an appointment.
I felt pretty calm today, compared to last week, and I’m sure that it was the result of all of your prayers on our behalf. You can pray specifically that God will provide an earlier date for the hysterectomy. The doctor in Indy also told us that when they have the uterus to examine, they’ll know how much it was affected and give us an answer on how serious situation is. He’ll also be able to help Dr. Aggarwal determine the future of my treatment.
Praise God for our stretcher-bearers again! We love you.
Sandy and Mark
God will provide an earlier date. Thanking him for his wrapping his arms around you and may He continue. I’m praying the patch will give you the relief you need and not cause you anymore problems. May you , Mark and the girls have a good weekend and find all sorts of small (or big) things that bring you a smile or sence of God’s prescense.
Love, prayers always

I will pray for an earlier date for the hysterectomy. I pray that with this surgery, your doctors will be able to give you their ideas of options and course of plans. By an earlier surgery, you two will also feel less anxiety. I pray that peace resides with your family . . . and you continue to feel God’s grace and endless love.
Hi Sandy–Just wanted you to know you are on my heart tonight and I will continue to pray earnestly!!!
