Scan Results

This week Julie and the crew got back from Texas and the appointment from MD Anderson. The doctor was helpful but had no new news. He confirmed everything she has been told to date and shared a few more details on how clinical trials work. He said they could call for advice at anytime but Julie will remain in the care of the local doctors that she is already working with.

Today, we got the results of yesterday’s PET scan. None of the lesions have reduced in size and one area has increased, meaning her body has not been responsive to the chemotherapy. She will be moving to endocrine therapy as the next attempt to see if her body will respond. Please pray that her body responds positively and that endocrine will be a long term treatment option for her.

“Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.”
