TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY - AN UPDATE
WE WENT TO THE VA LAST FRIDAY TO GET MARSHA'S RESULTS ON HER CAT SCAN AND GET HER 4TH ROUND OF CHEMO. CAT SCAN RESULTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE AND HER RED CELL COUNT WAS TOO LOW TO GET CHEMO.
WE WENT BACK YESTERDAY (WEDNESDAY) AND GOT HER RESULTS AND CHEMO.
THE RESULTS ARE NOT GOOD, THERE IS NOW EVIDENCE OF METASTASIS IN HER SPLEEN, HIPS, PELVIC AND AORTIC ??????? I CAN'T REMEMBER THE WORD. HER SCAN SHOWED MINIMAL IMPROVEMENT IN HER LIVER, NO IMPROVEMENT OR CHANGE IN HER SPINE.
THE PLAN IS TO KEEP ON WITH THE CURRENT CHEMO IN THE FORSEEABLE FUTURE. OR AT LEAST UNTIL THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF ANY IMPROVEMENT.
WE ARE LOOKING AT GOING TO MD ANDERSON IN HOUSTON, AND OR THERE IS A PLACE IN CANADA WITH SOME PROMISING REPORTS. MARSHA DOESN'T WANT TO GO UNTIL SCHOOL IS OUT FOR LAUREN AND WE TAKE A FAMILY TRIP TO DISNEY. THAT IS HAPPENING IN JUNE, SO HOPEFULLY AFTER THAT WE WILL BE HEADED DOWN TO HOUSTON .........OR SOMEWHERE, ANYWHERE THAT CAN HELP.
WE NEED YOUR PRAYERS.
I LOVE YOU ALL,
DIANE
