New Scans and Bad News

In January, Doug and Angela received the fantastic news that Doug had clean scans.  With no visible tumors, he was given a break from chemo for 4 months--something his body desperately needed.

But the good news didn't hold out.  Doug had new scans on Wednesday and on Thursday received the news that he has visible tumors through his upper torso. His oncologist is now working on the next plan of attack.  But the path is not straight forward nor easy.  On Monday Doug and Angela will meet with Doug's doctors to hear the next ideas.

As you may imagine, it made Thursday a rather tough day for the Kotters. When I asked Angela, "What can we do?"  Her answer was "pray hard."  We are certainly praying as Doug and Angela face this next chapter in Doug's treatment and the tough decisions it will bring.  We invite you to join us with prayers on their behalf.
