I wish I could have said, "Amanda, the MRI shows that the tumor is gone." Believe it or not, I actually thought there was a decent chance of that.
Instead, once again I had to share with her, news that rips your heart out with every syllable.
"Amanda, we have been told that the chemo does not appear to have had any significant effect upon the tumor."
Within the next two days, and probably tomorrow, we will know what the plan is. It is likely that instead of a surgery at this point, there will be a new line of chemo to try. We'll be sure to keep you posted.

David just called and we are sick about this news. We just don't know what to say, except that God already knows this and He is in charge. New prayer requests for your family have already gone out from here. Please know that we love you all and pray for you constantly.
Love, Dad and Mary
Larry, Denise, Amanda and family,
My heart just sank when I read the knews. I was so hopeful and encouraged with some of the things Denise had shared with me and after seeing Amanda on the 31st I just knew there would be at least a glimmer of good news. So,now, we will just keep praying even harder and keep believing that God has all of this under control. I know it has to be hard but stay strong and fight the good fight. We love you dearly and our prayers continue to be with each of you.

When I found out today, i was really surprised and sad. My family and I will continue to pray constantly for Amanda. We all were expecting here tumor to have shrunk and for the surgery to be coming, but God is always in control. He has a plan for this eventhough we do not know what it will be. Just stay strong in Him and He will take care of the rest.
your friend, Maddie ; ]
Amanda & family,
It just breaks my heart to hear about this news. I am so sorry that you had to hear that. I thought for sure that those tests were going to turn out great. I know that God has a plan for this and he is going to make something good come out of it. I just want you all to know that you are in my prayers and if there is anything that you need. Please let me know.
Love & prayers,
Chasity
Amanda, Denise, Larry and Family,
You are in our hearts and prayers daily. You are a wonderful family with such faith in God and we know that he will continue to surround you all with his love and strength through all of this. Please know that if there is anything that you need, we are here for you. We will continue to pray for the miracle that we all know that God is capable of providing and for him to help your family through this.
With love and Prayers,
Nolanda, Charles, Chasity, Brooke and Sami

We are so sad and surprised at this. We had really expected the chemo to work. We will continue to pray for Amanda and all of you. God really does love you dearly.

Larry, Denise, Amanda and Family,
You guys are so dearly loved by the Boyd's. Our hearts are hurting and numb at the news.
I'm hoping and waiting for the Lord to bring His compassion, whether its by medicine working or something miraculous, I do not care. In my mind and thinking sooner would be nicer than later. Lamentations 3:32 is my prayer to God. For if He causes grief, Then He will have compassion according to His abundant lovingkindness.
God, I do not understand why we sometimes have such grief in this life, yet I pray that we will see Your compassion in the McDaniel household soon.
With love and prayers from your friend,
Scott
Larry, Denise, Amanda and family,
I can't find the words to express my thoughts and feelings. This news just brings on such disappointment. Please know that you are not alone in this journey, we share your pain. Dan and I continue to pray for you and your family. As always, lots of love.
p.s. Amen to Scott's comment above
Thankfully, there is another option that may work for you. You seem to like your doctors and trust them. We may not always hear the news from them we expect, but this next chemo/plan your dad mentioned just may be the cure. I hope you continue to feel well enough to do the things you enjoy. Keep that smile on and remember it's a one day at a time thing. Ethan says hi... and I'm sending some virtual pats on your head that dons that soft white hat :) Love to you and prayers from all of us at the Lee home.
McDaniels,
I am not that great with words, but know that my heart is hurting too with you all. I am praying, we are all praying, as well as many others for healing and God is in control.
We love you all.
Annette
I love you SO much Amanda! My prayers are with you! Things will get better, I'm sure of it.
