Prayers continue for your niece, her doctors, and all of her family. (Click)
Last night, I talked with a friend who is a physician, but not connected with my niece’s case.
This kind of cancer is very agressive and very deadly. It will take a miracle to save her. Oh, Lord Jesus, please help!
He said something interesting, though. He said that the medical profession has been seeing more of these agressive types of cancers in younger and younger patients. My doctor friend himself has a sister in her mid-thirties with a very agressive breast cancer. He says that she had a physical just a few months ago and there was no trace. In that short time, this cancer developed and metasticized to her liver bones. Her prognosis is very bad.
My niece’s cancer developed the same way. She was fine a few months ago when she had her baby, and this thing developed suddenly and metasticized rapidly.
My freind would not offer a prognosis, since he is not connected with the case, but he did say to pray for a miracle.

A 16 year old boy who was a friend of a friend recently died of colon cancer. Colon cancer! In a 16 year old boy!
Cancer is nothing more than your own body cells mutating and growing out of control. There is a line of thought that it is caused by various viruses. Unfortunately there are thousands of viruses in the human genome alone. Most are benign but sometimes they aren’t.
I wonder if there’s some sort of connection. Prayers are continuing.
Please reply to Westbrook. Thank you.
Prayers that God will intervene in the health of your niece
and make her well once more!
Prayers lifted for your niece.

Prayers for your niece. May God help her and protect her.
Thank you for the update. Prayers continued. They do help, I do believe.
Best,

Westbrook,
You and your family must get aggressive yourselves! Reject this cancer and this diagnosis in Christ’s Holy name. Those of you with strong faith must lay hands on Jessica and annoint her with oil. Believe she will be healed and she will. God has given you the power to heal in his name but you must have faith.
James 5:14-15 ASV
14 Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15 and the prayer of faith shall save him that is sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, it shall be forgiven him.
My pastor’s daughter had an inoperable brain tumor. They discovered it when she had a car wreck after her vision went black. She was told she’d never leave the hospital and to get her affairs in order. Pastor and his family laid hands on her and rejected the brain tumor in Christ’s Holy name. They did this every day for many days. When the results of her next MRI and CAT scan came in, the doctors thought they had the wrong patient’s records. There was no evidence of that tumor. Then the doctors thought they had misdiagnosed her in the beginning and went back to examine her first MRI. It was her brain. There had been no error. Every one of her doctors said it was a miracle, even those who were not believers.
The faith of a mustard seed can move mountains. Get aggressive in your faith. All things are possible through Christ. Not some things, not a few things ... ALL THINGS!

The real battle begins now that she is home.
Latest update from my sister ....
Hi Everyone,
I’m happy to report that Jessi is home!!!!! We had some trouble escaping from the hospital in Jacksonville but we made it. The ambulance people just came in and swept us out of there. Some day I will give you the story of our last day in NC. I’m sure that some day we’ll even be able to chuckle about it (a little). The minute we landed in MA, I could see that Jessi felt better. The air ambulance ride was uneventful although Jessi was on oxygen and had to receive a blood transfusion during the flight. We landed in Bedford at 5 PM which could have been challenging but the ambulance personnel were wonderful. We owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to our personal angel, Laurel Johnson, who donated the trip so that our daughter would have a fighting chance to figtht this dreadful disease. Our family can never thank her enough for her kindness. We hope that some day we are in a position to pay it forward.
The doctors at Dana Farber and Brigham & Womens Hospitals are phenomenal. They are so upbeat and encouraging. They don’t deny the seriousness of our plight but they make us feel confident that everything that can be done, will be done and as quickly as possible. That is such an uplifting gift for people with such faint hopes.
On Thursday at 1:30 we will have an evaluation meeting with a team of doctors. My understanding is that they will determine whether Jessica is a good candidate for a clinical trial that is being done on adenocarcinoma at Dan Farber. Please send good thoughts and prayers our way so that she might be accepted into this trial. We feel this trial is Jessi’s opportunity to receive the most cutting edge treatment. And anyone who knows Jessica knows that if she’s is given the proper tools, she will fight this cancer with everything she has.
We’re just taking baby steps now. Small goals. One foot in front of the other. Day by day.
Please think of us on Thursday at 1:30 and pray for us whenever you think of it.
