Angie has been diagnosed with Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Tongue. The doctor described the cancer as "aggressive and dangerous" be he feels they have caught it early. At this point, we only have the diagnosis, we don't have a stage or prognosis. Angie will have a PET/CT scan next Thursday (the 17th), followed by surgery on Tuesday, Sept 22 to remove another portion of her tongue and lymph nodes. She will be in the hospital for a few days following this procedure, and then it is likely that she will undergo at least six weeks of radiation treatment.
Please pray that the cancer has not spread further. Pray that surgery and radiation will eliminate the cancer completely. Pray for us during the next few weeks of waiting.
Thank you, friends.

"I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears...The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Psalm 34:4,18
Oh Angie....I am just now reading all this- my heart is breaking that you have to go through this....I love you and am praying and am passing along the prayer request to everyone I can think of. We will be faithful to continue lifting you up...
Angie - I am so sorry. Have strength in your faith. God works in mysterious ways. We will be praying for you! All the hugs in the world go to you and your family during this period of the unknown. - Dan & Tarrah Mueller
Oh Angie, we are so sorry to hear this news. Praying for God's peace to surround you during the waiting...
Angie - in prepping for music rehearsal tonight, I learned your news. This second verse of Be Still, My Soul is on our playlist this week.
Be still, my soul; thy God doth undertake to guide the future as He has the past. Thy hope, Thy confidence let nothing shake; all now [which is] mysterious shall be bright at last. Be still, my soul; the waves and winds still know His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below.
I don't want to hand you platitudes, but I do want to remind you that nothing gets to you except by God's permission, and the mysterious "why" will be clear later. I speak peace to your soul tonight through Christ and send you my love.
All this, and not a single joke!
Love, David Naylor
Hey Ange!
I love you! I am praying for you nonstop! My heart hurts, but we have a God of Miracles that loves us and is watching over you every step of the way!!!!
That last one was from me, Denise, Miguel, Autumn and family!
Love you Ange! You are on my heart constantly and we will continue to lift you, Jason, and Brady up in prayer. He is able to do immeasurably more than we ask or imagine!
He is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we can ask or think! Praying for you,
Larry and Chris Lavrich
