By the request and suggestion of some concerned brothers and sisters, due to the reason that some of those who are diligently praying for Cassidy and her family are from all around the world and may not know our circle of friends personally, the regular Blog posting may confused them because Dr. Jesse would sometimes refer to people by the names known to local circle only. Therefore, this new Prayer page is made for those who would like to just see the updated prayer needs of the Sheng Family so they can pray more specific prayers for them. So feel free to pass this site onto more prayer buddies to effect a greater prayer power. Thus the name of this new site http://PowerPray.blogspot.com

Cassidy's prognosis is not good

Cassidy's prognosis is not good, as there are more lesions found in Caca's Bone scan.  On top of the one in her month and on t spine, there are One in sacrum, one in ilium, and many tiny one throughout the spine.  Doctor recommended her to start Chemo ASAP to control the tumor growth.  We don't know if the chemo will work or not, she might need other treatments if chemo doesn't.

Caca's treatment goal has changed from curative to palliation approach meaning all treatments will be for local control only.  She will have a support group from palliation team to ensure her quality of life is achieved.

It is devastating to be told by the doctor that even if Chemo works this time, the cancer will come back again, Caca might have a cancer free period between 6-12 months.  There are still many unknowns at this point and the doctor cannot give us many answers as Caca's case is very unique to them.  We can only take things one step at a time and hope Caca can fight through this just like she did 7 years ago. 



Prayers items:

1. Thank God for having Papa Andy to lead the family with God's word and sharing as well as the unity of the family in praying together fervently.

2. Thank God for the prayer support of you all.

3. Please continue to pray for the grace and mercy of God in leading the physicians in looking after Caca.

4. Pray that God's peace and comfort be with the family especially Caca at this different time.

5.  Pray that God to grant them strength in facing such a situation, and that with God's will to lead the way of Caca and the family.

6. Pray that the pain of Caca is minimal.
