A short note from Wanda Langley regarding her brother, Allen Taylor...


I want to say thank you so much for all of your prayers that you have all been helping us with over the last two weeks or so. We went in for another appointment yesterday with the oncologist. The doctor went over the most recent test results from last week that were to determine the extent and spread of the cancer from the lungs. There were 2 spots on the brain (1 on the right and the other on the left side) the type of cancer that Allen has usually presents itself in clusters in the brain. These spots were not in cluster form and the doctors wonder if this is cancer or perhaps something related to something else (such as a stroke). There was also a spot on the adrenal gland. These were the only areas that looked suspicious at this time. We were told that they did not know if these spots were cancerous or not at this time. We have also made arrangements for a second opinion andwill be going for this appointment soon. Because of the aggressive natureof the cancer Allen has we cannot wait for a second opinion to start the chemotherapy. He is starting chemo today and will be receiving chemo forthe next three days. They will wait 21 days and do another session of chemo.After the 21 days we will have another PET and MRI to check on the status ofthe spots that were found. We were told that at that time they would truly know if those areas were cancerous or not by the reaction to the chemo. We feel much better at this point and feel truly blessed that we have had this report. I know that our prayers are working and I want you all to know how much I appreciate all of your concern and care but especially for all ofyour wonderful and meaningful prayers that you have said for Allen and our family. Please continue to pray for him and us during this time. I am truly blessed to work with such wonderful people. I love you all. Wanda
