The spot on her brain... 13 months ago

Isn’t cancer.

However, the prevailing opinion, as of now, is that she needs to sit back and get sicker so that she qualifies for a study. Sigh.

Now, this isn’t sitting well with her. Basically, they say her growths aren’t BIG enough to qualify. They say she needs to let them get bigger. So…she’s going to take Thanksgiving to think about it and talk about her options with the family, and then talk to her doctor.

So…we’re relieved the spot isn’t cancer on the brain, but…

Now what? Sigh. I swear it is hurry up and wait, hurry up and wait.

I’m praying; she’s a strong, determined woman – a fighter. I love her and respect her.

I hope..

...that your cousin soon gets her health issues sorted out and that she fights to get the kind of treatment she deserves. Good luck and many good wishes to you all…

Thank you!

She’s frustrated right now – she wants to fight, to keep going…not sit back and let the cancer grow.

She’s a smart girl and I know she’s got great doctors around her. I know that they’ll do what needs to be done.

If it were possible, I'm sure they did...

Understandably, she wasn’t up to talking much about it last time I saw her (at Thanksgiving).

Still, she’s seeing doctors at Johns Hopkins and the like. Overall, she is really impressed with the doctors … sitting and waiting just goes against the grain. She’s more a ‘let’s get moving and get this done’ sort of girl!

has it spread

if it hasn’t changed that’s a good sign they say.

As far as I know...

The spot on her brain hasn’t changed.

The growths in the rest of her body are…well, throughout her body. Sigh.
