Marsha Oeste
Prayer request update: Marsha's dad starred his first treatment of Retuxamab this morning. It will be a long day....8 hours in Cancer Care. Please pray there is no allergic reaction, and that the medicine is able to be absorbed into his brain, and that it will get rid of all Cancer cells in his brain. An answered prayer is that Rudy's PET scan was done last week Wednesday and it came back clear but didn't show the brain very well, so treatment has to still be done. Praise the Lord for clear scan of the rest of Rudy's body!!

Some answers to prayer for Marsha's parents.
"- we have had prayer for healing from a few people, lots of people praying everywhere!...we had the word of a long life spoken over dad at church on Sunday morning by our friend Keith, and we had a second MRI done yesterday. We were told the scan results would not be available for 5 days.
-doctor called and told us the scan report was back.....today....She said among other things it looks a bit better than the previous one! Yeah! were told the scan results would not be available for 5 days.
- the team of doctors felt they would agree to try the Retuxamab treatment first.
-Retuxamab ...a chemo drug which targets the B cells that have the virus, an antibody drug, given intervenously, low toxic, is administered slowly, (over 6-8 hours) watching for allergic reaction, weekly for 4 weeks. The main side effect is allergic reaction, with a possibility of low blood count or risk of infection! They would wait 4 weeks and then do another MRI. Depending on the results they might repeat or at that point consider to use another method.
- very thankful that the doctors are willing to try the less invasive treatment plan first.
We are thanking Jesus!"
Please continue to pray for protection on Rudy's pancreas and kidney...that his body doesn't reject them. Also that the Retuxamab goes directly to Rudy's brain and fights the infection and lymphoma there, and for protection against infection and allergic reaction. Praise God for the answers to prayer that Marsha's parents have received thus far!!

Marsha Oeste
Marsha Oeste's dad, Rudy, has been diagnosed with a rare form of post transplant lymphoma. The appointment at Cancer Care on Thursday was a little unnerving regarding potential treatment options. Please pray for the team of doctors that will decide how to best treat this, and pray for continued peace and courage for Marsha's parents, Rudy and Grace, to face the unknown.
