Latest News...

Well...mom went to the doctor today to discuss last weeks results and unfortunately there was no good news today. The chemo which she has been undergoing (the strongest for pancreatic cancer at this point in time) has stopped working; therefore, the doctors are stopping her treatments here.

The outlook is not good; however, she will meet again Feb. 16 with her cancer doctor to see if she can be placed in another clinical study in Chicago. Our last attempt in Chicago was unsuccessful, but we can always hope. :)

Thank you again for all of your prayers,

Melissa

Kidney Stone Surgery Today!

Just a reminder to everyone that Mom is having surgery today at Bromen Hospital in Bloomington for her kidney stones. Hopefully this surgery will be successful and the doc can blast them all away!

Will update you in the coming week or two on whether or not it works this time!

Thanks,

Melissa

CT Scan News...

Well the test results are in...

Cancer is back and has spread alot more than it was prior to her birthday parties. She has several spots on her abdomen and liver, as well as 2 large spots--one on her liver and one to the left of her belly button. We will meet with a doctor next Friday to see how treatment will change and where we will go from here.

Until then--we have a surgery that she will undertake on Friday for kidney stones.

Thank you for all of your prayers over the last week. Please keep them coming over the next couple weeks...they are working even though some days its hard to believe.

Thank you again,

Melissa
