Decisions to be make

Hello my sweet friends,


Today my mom met with her doctor to get the results of the bone and CT scans that were performed on Friday. It was time to test if the test phase of this treatment was having any effect on the cancer. The results are... that there really are not many results. The good news is that cancer has not spread any further. And the other news... well it's that the cancer is all still there, in every part of her body that it was before.


The bright and sunny disposition would be to say, "but hey! that's great news! the cancer is not spreading at least." But you see, my mom has been mostly sick for the entire treatment. Combine that with the many hours she spends driving all the way to Pasadena from Victorville for every treatment and the endless chemo side effects combined with experimental drugs. Well, it's not everyone's idea of "living" and perhaps not hers either.


So she is asking herself whether or not continuing treatment if only to keep her alive for another year or so, is it worth being sick for that entire year? Only my mom can answer that. And so she is spending the next few days considering her options.


I ask you all to join me in prayer that God would speak to my mom's heart and tell her His plan for her. That he would strengthen her for which ever path He has already chosen for her and that He would comfort us all.


So I am thinking that a wonderful, "all girls trip" to a "beach house" for her first time might just be in order. It's time we got to planning and putting a smile on her face again!


With Love...
