Bri’s oncologist didn’t have much time for her this afternoon. That was disappointing. She called us and said, “I have some good news and some bad news.” The oncologist said her torso scan came back clean -- no sign of cancer anywhere in the torso, not in the abdomen or on the sternum where a spot in each location was previously seen. The radiologist reported he might have seen a very small spot on the liver, but the oncologist said he didn’t see anything in the liver.
As a preventive measure the oncologist wants to continue with chemotherapy every other week, including this next Monday. He wants to ensure there are no micro size cancers anywhere in her system that could move and/or flare-up in the future. This news made Bri quite emotional as chemotherapy has a cumulative, destructive effect on the body. Each successive treatment causes her more nausea, fatigue and side-effects. She was really hoping further chemo wouldn’t be required. During our phone conversation she tried to be strong, but chemotherapy has taken its toll -- emotionally, mentally and physically.
We acknowledge Divine intervention and blessings that resulted in her clean torso scan. We pray that ongoing chemo treatments may soon no longer be necessary.
Our faith, trust and confidence in all that’s been confirmed in our hearts regarding her ultimate restoration of health continue, nothing doubting. Your ongoing support is appreciated.
Rick
