Any and all prayers on behalf of my wife, Jane, would be appreciated.

Last month she was diagnosed with stage 4 oral cancer……it came fast.

We are at the hospital now. She will have over half of her jaw removed and replaced with a section of her leg. She will lose part of the side of her tongue, for the third time, and the floor of her mouth on the right.

Among the procedures will be radical neck dissection. The cancer metastasized into her lymph nodes……they have to go get them, among other things.

It is impossible to type out all that she is about to have done.

The last CT scan was Friday, curiously they did not send the results in her “my chart”, as they have previously.

The tumor has grown in the last month despite two immunotherapy infusions intended to shrink it. The severe dysplasia in her tongue and the floor of her mouth has also gotten worse. All of this leaves us wondering. Since the tumor got bigger in a month…..what about the lymph nodes?

The surgery was supposed to last for 10 hours with two teams. Now, it’s scheduled for 14-16 hours.

She will be disfigured.

She will be permanently impaired.

We are both Christians, we are trying to leave it to God.

Again, any and all prayers on her behalf are appreciated.
