scan update

Thanks for all the faithful prayer support. We endured a good chunk of the day waiting for news about Jordan scans. Mid-afternoon we spoke to our oncology nurse practioner and then the surgeons. The news was sort of mixed in that the tumor had not changed in size, but also that there was specifically hopeful information concerning the possibilities of the surgery. We had hoped there would be some definitive reduction in tumor size...that was not the case. This potentially means a more difficult procedure to be performed. We will continue to pray for skillful hands during the surgery (Tuesady 7:30am-4pm) and that the cancer can be completely taken out. The doctors were unable to determine whether the cancer mass is live or dead. After the surgery, tumor cells will carefully be looked at to discover the answer to this uncertainty.

Brent and Becky,

We continue to pray for you and are thankful to God this Thanksgiving for you and your ministry to so many others while enduring the suffering that both Jordan and you are going through. Love, Busbys in New York.
