Here is the email her sister sent me...
Hi Everybody,
I am reaching out to everybody I know in New York, Washington, Mississippi,
Alabama, etcetera. My little sister Brittany was diagnosed with cancer
yesterday. It has spread to her liver, colon and abdomen. It came from a
malignant tumor she had removed two years ago. Her CA levels went up but
the doctors told her it was nothing. This last week, her stomache pains
worsened and kept her from work.
In Brittany's case, this type of cancer is resistant to treatment. There
is a surgen in D.C. that is practicing a new technique. If she decides to
do this it would be a 13-20 hour operation and the results are mixed. It is
her decision.
Brittany needs a lot of prayer. Please put her in your prayers. Please
tell everybody you know. I am trying to start as many prayer circles as I
can. Please pray for God to wipe the cancer from her organs and make her
well. Please pray for her not to suffer. She's 25 this September. The
doctors are grim but I believe strongly in God and I believe in miracles.
I believe that if it is His will for her to stay on earth and do good a
little while longer, it will happen. Please pray for my parents.
Thank you so much,
Megan
ps. if I've met you once in my life, you're on this email. feel free to
forward this and tell your place of worship about Brittany.
And most recently (yesterday)
I just want to thank everybody for their kind words and responses. Stacy and my Mom and Dad and I will meet with a group of doctors on Friday. If you know of any cancer trials dealing with a person who has a history of Grade 1 Mucinous Adenocarcinoma please forward this on. This cancer is in her abdomen and on top of the intestinal lining of her liver (not inside) just near the colon.
Right now, it is important to keep her attitude upbeat. We are so thankful for your support and continued prayers. Brittany is in a lot of pain and everything has happened so suddenly. We're working on getting her better medicine to deal with pain and fuel the fire (that we all know she is capable of) to beat this. We're looking for clinical trials that are outside the box of just regular chemo that this cancer is not very responsive to.
There is a doctor in D.C. that has is doing something different with this type of cancer. He has mixed results and four families from Birmingham have tried him. The surgery takes 13-20 hours. His practice is to injects a type of chemo directly into the organs and remove everything he possibley can that has been affected. He also uses aggressive chemo afterwards. I have been unable to find out anything online about him. The doctors here are talking to family members from B'ham that have gone through this.
There is a type of chemotherapy called FOLFOX that they're also looking into. It's aggressive and it's used to treat bowel cancer.
There's a group of us actively researching and adding Brittany to prayer lists. If you can help us in any capacity (even if it is just calling churches) please write me and let me know. If you ever want an update, please write. I love y'all and thank you.

Kimmifunn, that is so sad and horrible! My prayers are with her and her family. I don't understand a doctor removing a tumor from both of them and the one's CA level being high and them saying it is nothing. The CA125 blood test is the only test that detects ovarian cancer. Something like that should never be ignored. And the girl is just 24 years old. That is the age of my son! So sad! Will say a prayer for her for whatever she decides to do as to treatment. And here's hoping it is successful! I am 46 and have never had that CA125 blood test, but will seriously think about it next time I go to the gynecologist. Because something could always be lurking that you don't know about.

I am so sorry for your friend and her family. I have 3 friends who are fighting lung cancer right now, will add Brittany to my prayers. Remember Psalm 23:4.
