UPDATE!! This is SO GOOD!
Yesterday, Katie's doctor reported after taking a CT scan that her cancerous tumor has shrank down to 3 millimeters - that's super-duper-duper SMALL!
Her cancer could be GONE!!
She has scar-tissue left from the lymphoma...but NO TUMORS! They will not be sure unless she has a biopsy - the doctor won't do this because she wants to continue with Katie's 3 treatments and then scan some more. Then they will wait 3-4 months and see if the tumors will grow... We are praying for the CANCER TO BE GONE! Don't stop now KEEP PRAYING - you all have been so good to pray and IT'S WORKING!! Katie still has her hair (it's very thin) but she has such a fantastic attitude! Isn't this EXCITING - let's all do the "Happy Dance" with Katie!! Thank you GOD!

This is Katie Henson! She is a true "MESS!" Funny, crazy, always smiling kind of gal! She is a true STRONG WOMAN. Katie is a wife, mother of three, daughter, sister, teacher, friend and she needs our prayers. Here is a small part of her story: 
"At the end of May, I found a lump under my collar bone. I went to the doctor
and he gave me antibiotics. I went back 2 weeks later and he gave me a different
kind of antibiotic. The lump didn't go away. It didn't hurt or even bother me at
all, it was just there. I then went to a different doctor and he thought I had
cancer. He said it just about like that too. "You have lymphoma." What?! He sent
me to a surgeon that removed the lymph node and sent it off to be biopsied.
Seven days later on August 6 the results came back - multicellular Hodkins
lymphoma..."
Katie was thought to be in stage 2, but last week the family received a huge shock in her test results rating Katie's cancer a stage 3. My cousin says that Katie is hanging in there and really being strong. WOW! Please say a prayer for her and her family. As you can see from her picture with purple hair; she wore this wig as she collected tickets at the Pecos home football game ( her husband is the head coach there in Pecos) --she's a special person. She has such a great family! Just add them on your list for prayer - thanks!
