From Rick Beam, pastor,
Bertha
Buck would appreciate your prayers. She had uterine cancer 11 years ago and in
April 2005 she experienced severe pain in her hip. Doctors discovered a growth
on her hip, 2 on her spine and 2 spots in her lungs. She underwent
chemotherapy for a very aggressive small-cell carcinoma. Currently, she
has begun 30 days of radiation treatment on her right lung.

From David Johnson, pastor, Cape Girardeau and Poplar Bluff, MO and
Paducah, KY:
Mrs. Bertha Buck would appreciate prayers on
her behalf as she continues her chemotherapy for a very aggressive small-cell
carcinoma. Progress has been made and
she is grateful for the prayers and cards she has received.
Bertha returned to the hospital Sunday to
begin her next round of chemotherapy. Unfortunately,
the drugs have made it very difficult to regulate her sodium levels. This causes heart irregularities, retention
of fluids, etc. Please continue to keep
Bertha and her family in your prayers.

From David Johnson, pastor, Cape Girardeau and Poplar Bluff, MO and
Paducah, KY:
Bertha Buck received an encouraging report
as a result of her most recent CAT scan.
The very aggressive small-cell carcinomas in her lungs have shrunk and
are now no longer visible on the CAT scan.
Tumors remain in her hip and spine, and she is continuing chemotherapy,
but this scan was very positive. She
will receive a bone scan in a few months to determine what progress has been
made and what therapy remains.
Bertha and her husband, Gene, wish to
express their profound appreciation for the many prayers, cards, and letters
offered on Bertha's behalf. She has no
doubt that God has intervened as a result of those intercessory prayers. Please keep the family in your prayers
because God's continuing intervention and healing are still needed before this
trial is over.

From David Johnson, pastor, Cape Girardeau and Poplar Bluff, MO and
Paducah, KY:
Gene and Bertha Buck deeply appreciate the
cards and prayers received in the last two weeks. Doctors have determined that Bertha
has small cell carcinoma, an extremely aggressive and fast growing cancer. Using powerful chemotherapy, the doctors
predict that she may survive six months, without chemotherapy she may only
survive six weeks. Your prayers are
requested.

From David Johnson, pastor, Cape Girardeau and Poplar Bluff, MO and
Paducah, KY:
Mrs. Bertha Buck, a member in the Cape
Girardeau, MO congregation, would appreciate your prayers. About ten years ago Bertha had surgery and
radiation treatments for uterine cancer.
Recently she has been experiencing severe pain in her hip, and doctors have
discovered a growth on her hip, two more on her spine, and two spots in her
lung. Tests are ongoing, and a treatment
plan is still being devised, but your prayers for God's intervention and wisdom
would be greatly appreciated. She is
receiving some powerful painkillers to reduce the pain in her hip, but they are
not completely effective, and the pain is also seriously elevating her blood
pressure.
