Summary and prayer request


I wanted to translate this little excerpt of the paperwork from the clinic in Kyiv, because it's a very clear summary of my condition:
C43.9 Malignant melanoma of the skin, unspecified
Metatastic melanoma in right breast, in lymph nodes of right underarm, in right lung, in left adrenal gland, in the soft tissue of the right hip without known primary.
Recommendations
1. Check for mutation of BRAF V 600 gene.
2. Contrast MRI of head.
3. Decide treatment plan with consilium of doctors, after examination of patient and receiving results of diagnostics.

And our new prayer request: Raia has a cold. Please pray that she'll get well fast and won't pass it on to anyone else. That's a little thing, but could be big right now.

Targeted therapy sounds like the best option (than the most common), praying your body responds to it successfully and for the Lord to walk you through it all and grant you peace.

Thank you for this update. I am continuing to pray for all things for the Hunsuckers, big and small, and am very glad to be able to come here to find more information to pray more specifically.

I've popped in and out of your blog over the years, connected via AO. Just wanted to say I am also praying for you, joining with the saints world over as well as all the AO family. May the LORD bless and keep you, make his face shine upon you, be gracious to you, turn his face toward you, and give you peace. May his healing that is for all the nations completely heal you.
