Liz just received the results of her new brain scan. The oncologist determined that her condition was stable in May.  Unfortunately, this time there is further brain metastasis.  The doctor has ordered a different steroid to reduce brain swelling. And has cancelled the oral chemo drugs she has been on for eight months. She will get the new chemo via infusion every three weeks. Liz's doctor is checking to see if additional radiation is possible. Please continue to pray for Liz as she begins this new treatment and adjusts to this disappointing news. 

Liz had a mild case of Covid recently and recovered nicely. She was injected with  monoclonal antibodies as a precaution. Unfortunately, she missed a celebration with her only uncle, my bro Phil Walch who came to visit from N.J.

Liz had a nice trip to Salt Lake City, Utah at the beginning of June. She joined women who are a part of her online breat cancer support group for a  spa and retreat there. And then toured the Sundance Ranch with a favorite friend in the group. The natural beauty there was a highlight of the trip. 

Liz continues to enjoy creating stained-glass artwork for friends and family. And she has started working with small tiles to make mosaics. Gary helps sometimes since he has the bigger tools she needs and likes to offer advice. He is having great fun with a 3 D printer. Liz would like to be able to work from home some  of the time but management of the independent living facility where she works has not approved this. Residents want her available every day. Gary occasionally works from home. 

Liz is touched and encouraged by the love and support of friends and family. Thank you for your prayers and well-wishes.

Love, Mom Carolyn, Mike and Tony
