Second Follow Up Visit

Pastor and Karen received a great report from the doctors and MD Anderson yesterday. They considered the surgery to be "bar-zero" meaning that visually they removed all that needed to be removed and left nothing considered to be problematic. Also, Pastor had not had any of the common complications associated with the surgery. Praise the Lord!
In approximately two weeks he will begin chemotherapy for three months and radiation in the area of the tumor. Both of these procedures are for precautionary measures to be sure all of the cancer has been removed from his body. Following this he is expected to make a full recovery!
Pastor's scheduled date to return to the pulpit is February 17th. Please continue to pray for strength, energy, and continued healing.

Pastor Keith,
We are thrilled you are back and recovering quickly.
We pray for success in your follow-up treatment and care.
Looking forward to having you back in the pulpit.
We were shocked about what was reported happened to your parents.
Would you post on your blog what you can share of the incidents and your parents recovery.
In Christian Love,
