2nd opinion in Seattle echoed the 1st. About 5% of people with non-small cell lung cancer have a change in the anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK gene). This results in an abnormal ALK fusion protein. Matt’s RNA analysis showed a ALK translocation while the DNA analysis did not.
The ONLY recommended treatment is a targeted therapy that only affects cancer cells. It is an oral medication that is a specific protein inhibitor.
We are astounded at the developments that have been made in the pharmaceutical world—this treatment option was only discovered in 2010 and patented 2012!
Our hope remains in Christ to do the ultimate work of full bodily healing (and that He may potentially do it through a variety or combination of therapies) and we trust in the wisdom of Proverbs 16:9 “A person plans his course, but the LORD directs his steps” (NET Bible)
God will use whatever plan(s) of action we make in order to take us where we need to be for health in body, mind, and spirit.
This is our belief and declaration!
