Please pray for my sister in law, Val Spenler. She has been battling lung cancer for the past two years. There have been ups and downs, but it had remained fairly stable with medication until recently when the medication stopped working. Fluid is building up in her lungs causing difficulty with breathing. She will be starting weekly chemo as well beginning Thursday, September 10th.
