Scott's Health

Yesterday we saw an oncologist to consider whether Scott might be dealing with cancer. He does have a tumor on his liver, but so far exams haven't been sufficient to establish whether it's malignant or benign. We have an MRI scheduled for Friday and another consultation with the doctor on Monday. There is a possibility he will also need to do a biopsy.

If the tumor is cancerous it would explain the stomach issues that Scott has had for the last few months. Nevertheless, bloodwork has shown normal liver function.

At this point there is a lot we don't know. We can't be sure that he has cancer, nor can we be confident that he isn't dealing with something serious. Either way, God is good and has been giving us peace.

We appreciate your prayers that God would help us figure out what's wrong, help us find the best solution possible, and continue to give us peace and wisdom in the process.

So far we are confident that Scott is receiving good medical care in Ecuador. If things begin to get more complicated we will not hesitate to return to the US for more advanced care.
