Thank
you all for your prayers. Here are the results... The tumor has shrunk
by half the size it was after the surgery in March! Great and positive
news!! Thank the Lord for that!!
The course of action next is
that once a month for 5days she will take the oral chemo. She will do
this for the next 6mos, and after that I guess get a new set of
instructions. In four months from now she will also have another scan to
evaluate how it's going.
I think the biggest prayer right now is
for her continued energy and strength. She had been on a steroid since
the surgery and tapered off of them after the chemo and radiation
treatments. Those helped with the swelling, but also aided her in having
energy while getting the treatments. Since being off of those and
recovering from the treatment, her energy
was low. She saw the naturopath(sp?) and nutritionist and has been
given some vitamin B complex to aid in the lower energy and also a few
ideas as far as exercise and diet in the morning.
My family, my
sister's, and my mom and dad are all hoping to go on a vacation together
in the next few months(ish)... Prayers for the planning and timing of
this would be appreciated.
Overall, it's positive and I am
very grateful for the outcome. We all are, so as I first said, Thank you
for the prayers and support, nobody was meant to do life on their own.
We're glad you all and others are on this journey with us!!
