God Opens the Door to the Right Oncologist

This has been a very interesting week for us as we were in pursuit of an oncologist to begin the next chapter of Terri's journey. We were denied for city of Hope through our medical group because they feel they have adequate care with the physicians network we belong to. Interesting how the system works. Gut God is not limited to get you the best for your best!!

We were approved for Dr. Sharon Yee who was recommended to us when we first started out but it was thought you could not get into her because she is too busy. Well we got in and saw her Thursday. She is amazing and Terri trusts her and enjoyed her interchange with her. Dr Yee recommends after studying Terri's file that we have 6 months of chemo. So chemo commencing the first week of October--the date is still to be confirmed.

Much preparation is needed. Terri has lost 14 pounds and needs to gain some weight back. We need to get flu shots and get ready for an interesting 6 months. She is also going to have a PET scan in the next week. The doctor feels the chemo is a preventative measure, so we thank the Lord it is preventative and not life saving. Perspective is everything on this road! Thanks for praying. Please continue to pray not only for us but every individual and their family who battles cancer!

God bless you.
Pastor Joel and Terri
