Wishing the news was better...

Almost a month....almost...trying to stay away from the doctor's office...doesn't seem to work...abdominal pain that started about a year ago, got better..then worse....so bad now that sometimes it appears to be unbearable. So back to the doctor...saw the Oncologist last Friday and it was suggested that an abdominal scan be repeated. Unfortunately, that has lead to some more undesireable news...the cancer again has spread. Multiple lesions have been found in the back near the spine as well as in her groin area. Is this the reason for the abdominal pain--still unsure...she will ned to follow up with a colonoscopy asap to make sure the cancer has not spread to the colon. If not---the chance to try the new drug on the market--although not FDA approved it has a success rate of 25%...which are more odds than attempting nothing....or there is the Leukine therapy which requires intensive chemo with isolation in the hospital.....the monster is a bastard that continues to stalk and spread...the battle for this young mother will continue and knowing her determination she is not going down without a fight. She is a courageous and strong woman with a will beyond most. She has an intense faith and knows the Lord will carry her through this ...she is truly one determined angel. Please keep up the prayers...they lift her spirit and provide everyone with great strength...
