Prayer Request for Retired Deputy Chief Jerry Knoerr
Retiree Jerry Knoerr has been diagnosed with Liver Cancer. Doctors found a large mass inside his Liver. He is traveling to California on Monday for a new treatment.
Information on the treatment is described below:
Histotripsy is a new technology that was approved in 2023 by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of liver tumors. It uses focused ultrasound energy to destroy tumors non-invasively — that is, without making any surgical cuts.
Jerry and his family would appreciate your prayers for his full recovery. Travel will be on Monday and the procedure will be performed on Wednesday, February 26, 2025. He is in good spirits and looks forward to whatever God has in store.
His phone number is 214-282-7926. Please limit contact to text messages at this time.
UPDATE — June 4, 2035 Jerry is scheduled for a second round of treatment this morning at 10 a.m. The first treatment back in February destroyed 3/4 of the tumor and they expect to get the rest of it today. Please keep Jerry in your prayers this morning and in the future.
