Dear Trinity family,
Being that I'm spending a lot of time right now in passages of Scripture that center on prayer, it shouldn't surprise me that God's given me an occasion to put it into practice.
Bree has been accepted into the clinical trial for which we were hoping. She will have a PET scan on Monday and once that result comes back either later that day or the next, she will be randomized (50/50 chance) into either the experimental or the control group.
The experimental group is a vaccine of sorts to teach her immune system how to fight the disease while the control group is a standard of care therapy that should work to keep the disease in check for a certain but unknown amount of time. That's good but the experimental treatment has the potential to significantly change the trajectory of her cancer.
Please join me in praying that she will get into the experimental group. Please pray also that God would bring praise to His name no matter what. I really want the first one of those, more than I've wanted anything in a while, but I know I should want the second one even more than that :).
In other news...
God bless and we will see you this Sunday. Our sermon text will be John 17.
In Christ
Pastor Brad
