City of Hope...

City of Hope suggested adding radiation to the protocol and changing the chemo to Xeloda, among other things
Weight holding - 
had blood draw for new integrative Dr. -at least 14 vials!!!
living life~ in between research

City of Hope offered several options - all variations on the chemo theme.  However, for each thing that he said, he had a disclaimer that there was not really evidence that it would make a big difference.... This happened at least 3 times - maybe more. 
Because of it being so far away, I wouldn't seek treatment there but perhaps will talk over the recommendations with my onco -- though I am not feeling peaceful about any of his recommendations.  Will put it to prayer...

On another note - I hope y'all are watching the Truth about Cancer... 
Each episode is available until the next night.  You can watch/listen on your phone while you wait wherever you are! Did that yesterday while I waited 2 hours for a blood draw!  
As the grand daughter of 2 chiropractors who practiced in the depression and the great grand daughter of a homeopathic healer in Germany during WWI and II, as well as a cancer patient, this is hugely interesting to me.  

Please please listen with an open mind -- You have nothing to lose and much to gain.

While alternative therapies may not be for everyone, I do think that everyone should have a chance to choose among options - not have it dictated to them.  Here's a chance to learn what is available besides chemo and radiation, and the history behind them.

Thankful for gorgeous weather
friends - both near and far - and all the love that has poured out
scripture verses to calm an anxious heart
being strong enough to go to events and enjoy them

     I am so thankful for all of you --Thanks for checking in!
