Thank you all for your prayers and support. I just received word from my father from Thomas Jefferson. The new MRI did not show an increased size in the mass they were concerned about in mom's shoulder. Infact the MRI did not show anything more than the previous MRI(that is a good thing). This means that the mass will most likely not require any other form of treatment. Mom's weight was up 2 pounds and her blood work was ok so she is receiving her second treatment as I type this. During her first treatment her tumor activity reading from her blood work was consitantly dropping, during the second treatment it rose significantly. The test performed this week indicates that the tumor activity level is again headed in the right direction.
*Updated Correction: Previously I mentioned, as was reported to me, that the mass was not causing the problems with mom's right hand. This was not correct. The mass is contributing to the problems with mom's hand. But because the mass was not as severe as they feared no additional drugs will be added to mom's current treatment. The doctor said that, in time, as the treatment works, the symptoms in mom's hand will fade. Sorry for the mis-information earlier.

HI Lynne,
It certainly is great news to hear that the new treatment is being effective! We also know that old and new prayers are always effective!! ("the effectual fervent prayer of the righteous availeth much" James 5:16)
The Lord is with you and helping you through this difficult time. We can only imagine how tough it is to keep fighting, but we know that you can do it. We know that you are a determined lady and can hang in there!
You have the support and strength of your family and so many friends to help hold you up. Let them!
The song with the lyrics which include, "Lord please teach me how to pray, while you're teaching me your way....He makes all things beautiful in His time."....is definately a song to bring strength and hope to you while you are struggling with this disease.
I know that the Lord is bringing you His healing in His time.
Love and prayers,
Lyn Van Druff
