  Bereavement

  Upcoming Procedures/Hospital Stays

  It is with a heavy heart that I share this.  I did not receive good news from my latest scans.  A new mass has formed in my lungs and has grown rapidly.  I will be starting a new chemo regimen on September 30th.  While we remain hopeful, we are also ready to accept the possibility that this treatment may not work.  My oncologist is hopeful we can get one more year.  Please pray for me, my family and all who care for us as we are truly hurting right now, so I humbly ask for you to pray for them as well.  I am so blessed by your ongoing support and encouragement.  Thank you for your care and concern.  Megan Thomas (9/25/25)
