Cancer Treatment for Keith Faulkner

Donation protected
Backstory: In March of 2017 our family found out that Keith had a brain tumor right in the middle of our family following God's call to move to Waco, TX, 4 hours away.  He had quit his job and we had 2 weeks before he started his new job in Waco, when we got this news.  He had brain surgery and did 6 weeks of radiation.  We found out that the cancer, medulloblastoma, was rare in adults, so there is no standard of care.  His job held his position for him during the radiation and our army of family, friends, and even strangers helped and supported us with their prayers and their support financially.  It was the most humbling experience I think we have ever encountered in our lives and we remind ourselves often of how God carried us through and provided for us through His people.  Keith started his new job in August of 2017 and we have been living in Waco ever since and he has been doing well. Today: A recent MRI of his brain is showing what doctor's believe to be a tumor recurrence in the same area of the brain.  We have prayed and asked God what path He has for us this time around as far as treatment goes.  We feel peace surrounding our decision to utilize an alternative cancer clinic in Minnesota called the Conners Clinic.  We do not believe it was "chance" that God introduced Elise (Keith's wife) to nutritional therapy after his diagnosis, which opened their eyes to the world of holistic health in general.  Even  his conventional oncologists agree that this decision "isn't easy" because there is no standard of care for this type of brain tumor in adults, and they are using their best educated guesses on their end.  They also said that their plan of very aggressive chemotherapy could very well be detrimental to his bone marrow. Of course, insurance does not cover "alternative" treatment options, so we will need to raise the funds in order to go.  We ask that you prayerfully and thoughtfully consider donating  to get Keith where we believe God is directing us to go.  We also humbly ask for your prayers again, as we walk this out in a different way this time.  Our prayer is that as we follow God's lead,  He will work out Keith's healing and we will have a testimony of God's faithfulness, even greater than the last! We love and appreciate each and every person reading this and are so thankful for you and your prayers and any donations you feel led to give.
