Matt Chandler Video and Treatment Battle Plan!

28 December 2009 One Comment

Over the past number of days there have been some updates on the Matt Chandler context!

Matt has recorded a short video message that was taped on Dec. 18th, and shown to the church family, which can also be found HERE!

Subsequently, the treatment plan was announced, and thanks to Matt and family via the Village Church, for keeping us informed of these developments… and, here are the details…

Let me start by saying, Thank You! The outpouring of love and prayers for my family and me has been so overwhelming that it has moved us to sobs. To see the tangible love of God for us in the saints has been overwhelming and a great comfort…Thanks.
Prognosis: Anaplastic oligodendroglioma
Battle Plan: Radiation and chemotherapy start on Dec. 29, bolstering my system with some homeopathic means.
Dec. 29 at 1 p.m.
Start radiation. This will continue every day for six weeks.
Chemo will be happening right along side of radiation and will go through February, and then we’ll take a four-week break, get an MRI and see where we stand.
The players:
Dr. Karen Fink, neuro-oncologist – Dr. Fink is the quarterback for my team, and she happens to be the Peyton Manning of neuro-oncology. Please pray for her as she monitors my treatment and vitals through all of this. Pray for her wisdom and insight.
Dr. Scott Cheek, radiation oncologist – I enjoy Dr. Cheek very much. He has a refreshing and encouraging personality with a great sense of humor.
Dr. David Barnett, neuro-surgeon – David performed my brain surgery, and it was an amazing success. He is a man of great faith, and I have enjoyed getting to know him as a surgeon and a brother.
Dr. Hammon, homeopathic doctor – He’s working with my other doctors. I have been moved by everyone’s humility and willingness to hear from each other
Prayers:
- My doctors
- That God might glorify Himself in amazing ways through all of this
- The Village Church and our elders
- Complete healing
- Healthy appetite
- Protection from side effects of radiation
- Protection from side effects of chemotherapy
- Peace for my family…specifically my children and their salvation

Christ is All,

When Scripture speaks of… Praying Without Ceasing (1 Thess. 5:17), the concept that is being affirmed can be likened to having a hacking cough.  With such a condition, one does not cough constantly, however one is in a constant state of affairs, where there is the sense of this condition in one’s consciousness!  With this in mind, pray like you have a hacking cough for Matt Chandler!
