Please Pray
Dear Fellow Prayer Line Members. I am writing from my daughter's home in So Carolina. Last week she received a biopsy report that my 17yr old granddaughter, Claire Fontanella, has a "malignant melanoma, invasive" on her back next to her thoracic spine. This is not a sun-caused melanoma but rather a fast growing kind frequently associated with "adolescents and young adults". The Dec holidays kept the lab results from getting to our family in a timely manner. At this moment our daughter,Danielle, is making arrangements to take Claire to Sloan Kettering Hospital in NY where they specialize in this. Hopefully next week they will remove what remains of the tumor and nearby lymph nodes to see if it has spread. The SC labs think it has but we are praying this will not be the case. Claire is a beautiful person finishing her senior year in high school and planning for college. Her family are devout Catholics and I am asking if you would please pray for Claire's full and complete recovery from this disease. I thank you all so much and will keep you updated. With love, Charlene Brannan

After my last couple of visits with my oncologist we discussed going for a clinical trial. I went on the 16th to talk with a USC doctor about starting one. I feel pretty good but am having some back pain, chest pain, a cough and I don't have much of an appetite. My cancer treatments, up until now, are not working much in my favor. The USC doctor says I'm a good candidate for the clinical trial so I'm going to try to get into the trial.
I am so blessed to have so many praying for me; thank...Read more
