The "R" Word

Remission.

What a miracle that would be! Late last night I talked to mom after she and dad met the oncologist that had reviewed her case and is working with Dr. Perez. He's sending biopsies of the cancer to another lab where he wants further testing done. He told mom and dad that he believes that he has two really good options to fight mom's type of cancer mixing drugs with her program she has started. They will choose one of those options and begin treatment Monday more than likely.

He stopped to tell them the story of one of his patients that had stage IV ovarian cancer when she entered the program that has now been in remission for eight years. He made sure that mom and dad knew that this is his goal in working with them. Let's pray for this!
