So we got a call from Dr. Frederick today with bad news. The team in Indiana reviewed Mom's case, and they are not willing to take her. This is sad, because they are one of the most liberal at taking higher risk patients - so if they said no, it isn't good for other centers either. So at this point, we have to wait another 2 months, and then Mom will have a CT scan. If it looks the same or better, they will put her back on the list in San Francisco, but if not, then they will just let us know how long (at their best guess), that we can expect her to live.
They are not going to continue the radiation treatments, even though Mom did extremely well with them. This is because they are not sure if what they are thinking could be the cancer spreading is actually inflamed cells from the treatments. So, if that is the case, then by avoiding radiation the inflamed cells will calm down, and it will show on the CT scan, thereby putting her back on the list.
When the time for the CT scan comes closer, she will be having a priesthood blessing, and we will be asking those who are able and willing to fast and pray for her. We will keep you updated - but for now, it will most likely be no news for a few months.
Thanks again for all your love and support, prayers and well wishes! We love you all and appreciate you so!
