Johnna and i met with a new oncologist in Santa Rosa, CA and he was INCREDIBLE! Dr. Keiser is the guy we have been looking for. the other oncologists have left me with a sense that my diagnosis is just hopeless, this guy is looking for possibilities. He was hopeful, and even encouraged us to pursue the alternative/crazy treatments, he is going to look for some of them himself!
I'll get a new ct scan early next week, and this time we're doing a full body. I have some strange headaches and some numbness around my forehead so we are also checking the brain. Pray for us for hope, i have only received horrible news following all my scans so we get a little anxious.
We are also ready to head to mexico finally! once we have gotten our scan results i'll be heading out to a clinic in Acuna MX. Dr. Keiser informed us that the cancer is advancing in my liver, and it will pick up momentum as it advances. The clinic in Acuna is doing treatments specializing in liver tumors in addition to systemic treatments. Johnna and I are really excited to be able to move in this direction, and it is all thanks to the generosity and outpouring of care from all you wonderful friends!

hey guy! so glad to hear that you have found a doc who is open to all the possibilites (infinite!) that are there for you and your body. I'm thrilled that you and Johnna are feeling excitement and hope. YOu have needed that. May I make a suggestion? Change the title of your blog to "hope news". I would love to see what you want as the title. Much love from the etheredges!
Hi Isaac,
I have been quite moved by your blog. You really are a living testimony to the power of the Holy Spirit. You know the neat thing is that even if you are not healed on this earth, you'll be healed in Heaven. Of course, we all want you to get up and get better, but as long as He is in control, all we have to do is let Him take the reins and guide us.
We'll be praying for you,

Hi,
I just came across your blog and wanted to ask you... Have you ever gotten a additional opinion on your pathology slides from your first surgery? I say this because primary MPNST of the skin is exceedingly rare.
Hi Isaac and Johnna, thanks for keeping us abreast of your progress when you can. It helps us pray for specifics; although God knows where to put his ministering angels on your behalf when we pray in the spirit. Whenever I see someone with tatoos I think of you and begin to pray. These days that is a regular sight to see. :) John is in the middle of a BT team and we think about all your years of service to our Lord through this ministry and thank God for you.
We love you!
Leslie and John
