Helping the Murray Family

In March of last year, Diane began to experience some sinus & breathing issues, eventually losing the ability to smell. After meeting with different specialists, and based on a couple of biopsy results, by the beginning of October it was determined that she had developed a malignant skull-based tumor of the nasal cavity and sinuses.

The pathology reports brought unexpected and overwhelming news, followed by a whirlwind of doctor appointments, phone calls, lab work, and imaging.

The Lord brought her through a 6-7 hour surgery, performed by an ENT specialist and a neurosurgeon (along with their teams). The surgery was a success, effectively achieving clear margins and removing all of the cancerous mass.

6 weeks post-op, she started head + neck radiation (~ 6 weeks/30 sessions) to reduce the likelihood of reoccurrence.

In the beginning of January, Diane also developed some new symptoms, which caused her to have another week in the hospital. While there, they found that she had developed an infection (bacterial meningitis), which will require 6 weeks of in-home antibiotic infusions.

The Murray family has been overwhelmed by the love and support shown by so many already, through the faithfulness of those praying (around the nation and the world) for her, and help with so many meals. Any financial support would help to alleviate the burden of medical expenses and time off from work.
