MEDICAL
Bobby McVey: Bobby met this week with a newly referred thoracic oncologist at Emory, who is conducting a comprehensive evaluation, including brain and spine scans, following the recent discovery of a lesion on his liver. There is concern that his previous cancer may have mutated, so Bobby is resuming chemotherapy along with an additional treatment.
Please pray for the effectiveness of this treatment plan, that any remaining cancer will be eliminated, and that the treatments will be well tolerated with minimal side effects. Please also pray for peace and for both physical and spiritual strength for Bobby, Carrie, and their family during this difficult time. May the Lord grant healing to this dear brother.
John Wood: John will travel to New York City next Tuesday for a two week stay as part of his clinical trial follow up. He continues to respond well to his pancreatic cancer treatments, with tumors continuing to shrink. Encouragingly, his oncologist has indicated that the majority of his pancreatic and liver disease is now under control.
During this visit, his medical team will conduct additional testing and administer a one time radiation treatment to a spot on his spine. John has also experienced some abdominal fullness over the past few weeks, which will be evaluated and addressed.
Alicia is thankful to be able to travel with John during this visit. Please continue praying for John’s complete healing, and for peace and strength for him, Alicia, and their entire family. What a blessing they are to all of us!
Kathy Brooks: As many of you know, Kathy has been living with multiple sclerosis for many years. She was recently diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia and began treatment on May 18. After 28 days of chemotherapy, a follow-up biopsy will be performed to evaluate her progress.
Please pray that her treatment will be effective, that side effects will be minimal, and that she will be strengthened and sustained each day. Also remember her husband, Ed, as he faithfully cares for her—praying that God’s will be done and that both will be filled with peace, strength, and encouragement during this time.
Sherry McMillan: Sherry underwent knee replacement surgery on May 14 and is recovering well. Please pray for a smooth rehabilitation, reduced swelling, effective pain management, and a swift recovery. Please also pray for strength for her husband, Kirk, as he cares for her.
Sandra Barker: Sandra experienced a very mild stroke on Thursday, April 30, and is recovering well. She is already back to teaching her piano students. Please continue praying for Sandra’s full healing and restoration, and for Randy as he faithfully cares for her.
Camie Pew: Mark and Patti Pews’ daughter-in-law, Camie, continues to battle recurring breast cancer. Her husband, Nathan, and daughters, Eliana and Madi, have been a tremendous support to her during this challenge. Camie continues with two different types of chemotherapy treatments and has been resting at home.
Please continue to lift Camie and Nathan up in prayer—for treatment effectiveness, for comfort, peace, strength, and joy even in suffering.
Wanda Quattlebaum: On March 10, Wanda fell and fractured her femur just above the knee. After extensive surgery and a short stay in a rehabilitation facility, she returned home a few weeks ago. She is responding well to physical therapy.
Wanda and Ray praise God for His healing hand and are grateful for your prayers, encouragement, and support throughout this journey. Your prayers have been a true blessing, and they deeply appreciate each one of you. Please continue to pray for this dear couple!
Grace Brown: Grace continues undergoing immunotherapy for lung cancer through daily medication and monthly injections. Recent scans show that all tumors are continuing to shrink and that inflammation is steadily decreasing—praise God for this encouraging progress! Please continue praying for Grace’s healing, manageable treatment side effects, and for peace and strength for Grace and her family.
Rosemary Lisby: Rosemary continues to deal with inflamed nerves in her back that affect mobility in her right leg and cause numbness in her foot. A recent injection did not provide relief, and she continues with physical therapy while exploring other treatment options. Please pray for complete healing and fully restored mobility. Also remember her husband, Greg, as he continues to care for her.
Virginia Ann Edwards (Bo Edwards’ mother): Sister Edwards, age 91, is continuing her recovery and rehab following a partial hip replacement. Please pray for her healing and for those caring for her, including Bo. Also pray that her application is approved for a place in an assisted living facility near her daughter Clair in Myrtle Beach.
