Vacation Starts Early!!

Dear Family and Friends,

With the upcoming vacation and CT Scan, Cathy decided to delay her treatment. Yesterday, Dr Uhdrian, at the Block Center, graciously answered all our questions concerning the lab results, tumor markers, liver function and treatment options. He was also quite supportive of Cathy's decision.

With this reprieve from drugs, please pray for restoration, not only physically, but mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

I am so excited for Cathy and Mike's trip that I get goosebumps (and I'm not even going!) They will be visiting family and friends in Arvada, Colorado Springs, and Broomfield, Colorado then on to Polson, Montana. To be able to share time together on vacation is a rare event - perhaps a second honeymoon?? Pray also that their marriage will be strengthened.

I want to give a big shout out to those individuals that made this trip possible!!

Gratefully,
Lori

Tumor Markers

Just want to let you all know that my tumor markers are trending upward. Not sure, yet, what this really means. My hunch is that the Kadcyla is not working. We will know for certain when results of CT scan are received. However, I will not have the scan until the first week in October.

Please, be in prayer that we would have wisdom in making the right decision for change in treatment should the scan, indeed, show movement in the wrong direction.

In the meantime, we remain in peace that the Most High God is in control.

Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you.  Jeremiah 32:17
