Having that said Ron sent a more involved up date to his team at Schreiber and when he read it to me I asked him if I could just post it on the blog, as it was said so well done and gives all the goings on so here it is.
I have not followed up with you from this weeks testing and the results. Lori and I did not have much time on Thursday following our meeting with my doctor. We had walked in our house and the phone rang asking us to immediately come back to the hospital to receive an infusion. Lori and I drove back to the hospital and waited for a bed in the infusion center to open up so I could get the infusion. It was a long and emotionally difficult day for us. The infusion is meant to penetrate my bones and shield them from attacking cancer cells. I will have this infusion every 12 weeks for the rest of my life. While it is a protection I got really sick from it Thursday evening through late Friday night. Side efforts are aching bones, nausea, headaches, etc…Yes, I experience each of them and riggered several times on Friday.
As you read on the blog we had good news and bad news. The good news is that the IL-2 worked with my lungs and chest…Yeah! The bad news is that the cancer spread, which is common as the cancer cells try to hide in safe zones where the IL-2 can’t touch them. These safe zones are the bones and the brain. Unfortunately, both safe zones indicate I have extremely small spots. They found (3) very small spots in the brain and (1) small spot on the left hip bone. They also found a very small legion on my right kidney. I know what you are all thinking at this moment and yes, Lori and I thought exactly the same thing when we heard the results. What we know is the IL-2 worked so that is the reason I am going for session 2 next week. You also noticed that I will have radiation treatment between the 2a and 2b sessions on the spots in the brain and on the hip. Since they are so small they are going to do them in a day at the Huntsman.
Lori and I were hoping for much better news to tell you on Thursday. We have not given up hope that a miracle will happen in our journey with this cancer. While cancer can take tissue and bone it cannot take our spirit and fight away. It cannot take away the love that we have for one another, our children, our grandchildren, nor can it take away the love of great people like each of you. I have great trust in our Saviors Atonement and His loving care and comfort. We have felt that peace and comfort that only He can bring during these difficult times. I love a scripture, “I know that he loveth his children; nevertheless, I do not know the meaning of all things”. I don’t know the reason why I am on this journey, but I do know that our Heavenly Father loves his children and he will never give us challenges that we can’t handle. I have learned a great deal from this experience. My prayers have found deeper meaning, peace and kindness have filled our home, our love for family has deepened, and our eternal perspective has been more fully opened to our view.
Each of you know me well and know that I will continue to fight, fight, fight! I do not know any other way. Each of you are part of the family we have built over the years. I am so grateful for your love, support, caring spirit. Thank you for your prayers and your encouragement. Keep them coming.
I love Ron so very much and am so grateful for his approach he makes it so much easier for me! I too am so thankful for all the love and prayers that have gone out on my dear husbands behalf! We truly feel them and know that the Lord is on our side.
