We did not get the answer at Emory that we had hoped to get. However, we are viewing this meeting as a door being closed and are trusting that God is leading us elsewhere. Basically, Dr. Horowitz at Emory, did not really investigate the findings from Dr. McKee very deeply and did not trust them at all even though we tried to convey our trust in what had been done. Dr. Horowitz said that he would suggest to Dr. Feuer (Jane's original oncologist) that he might try the original chemo that Jane had 5 years ago.
Today and tomorrow, I will search in 3 directions for the answer: 1) I will talk to Dr. Feuer and take a copy of Dr. Perez's report to him to study. I'll ask Dr. Feuer to try this protocol or some parts of it while we work on Jane's immune system through Kaiser's system. 2) I will check with Kaiser to see what their recommendation for treatment is since both the people they sent us to basically said "no more treatment". 3) I will call the center in Atlanta that does alternative treatment to check on the possibilities there to follow Dr. McKee's protocol. This is a center that Dr. McKee recommended.
Please keep us in your prayers. They keep our spirits up. For those praying that Jane's appetite return got an answer today. As we left Emory, Jane got hungry rather than down and wanted to go to the Varsity for a naked dog and onion rings. I took her and ordered a salad:) She ate 1/2 the dog and 3 onion rings. She had a nutrimeal for breakfast.
Dave and Jane
