As I am typing this mom is receiving her first new treatment. I am still unsure as to what exactly this treatment, but will update this blog with more details as I receive them. Her weight went up 1.4lbs, which is great. Please pray for mom's physical health as well as her emotional health. This long battle has been wearing on her as of late. Thank you all for your continued support and encouragement!

Mom has received approval for her treatment, so she should be getting a treatment sometime this week. There are still soem insurance issues that need to be resolved so please continue to pray that all will work out in regards to these issues.

Mom had her second appointment with Dr. Mitchell at Thomas Jefferson and will be starting her new treatment in the next week or two depending on insurance clearance. We would like to thank all of the Doctors, PAs and Nurses at Geisinger who provided mom with her treatment for the last 4 months.

Mom's appointment went great. Mom liked the Doctor at Thomas Jefferson who is also a researcher and helped develop the treatment she is on now. She has another appointment with this doctor Tuesday. Mom is no longer on the MacroBiotic Diet and is trying to put on some pounds. We will have more information this upcoming week. We would like to thank all of those who helped mom maintain her very strict diet while she was on it. Please continue to remember Mom. This treatment is still very hard on her system.

Sunday the 13th of January

Mom's last treatment went great. Her blood work and weight were all okay and she was able to receive her treatment. Please continue to pray for mom as this treatment really wears mom out. Thank you all for your continued love and support. We have also started the process of meeting with a few other doctors to discuss any other possibilities in mom's treatment. It would be great if you could also remember these appointments in your prayer. The first appointment is this Thursday.

Thuesday the 8th of January

Mom's second trip to Geisinger for this new treatment is Thursday. Mom will get her labs done at 10:15, then she will meet with Dr. White at 11:00 and, if all goes well, will receive tretament from 12:00-3:30. This last treatment was very hard on mom's system, and the pain is still a struggle so please remember to pray for mom not only Thursaday but throughout the week as well. Thank you all for your unending support and love.

Thursday the 3rd of January

Many people have asked for an update on mom's condition. While we are just one week into the new treatment mom's condition has been a struggle as of late. Mom is experiencing a significant increase in pain which has made it hard to maintain a balanced outlook. We are currently seeking the opinion from a few different hospitals on clinical trial options . Today is the best mom has felt since her last treatment, but her system is still out of whack. Mom has been struggling with doubts about her treatment and diet. Please pray for mom's current condition. She could really use your encouragement this week. Her next chemotherapy treatment is the 10th.
