More Great News

Steve got a call from Dr. McNamara today. It seems that one of the lab tests they did on my cancer was to determine whether or not it had mutated. If the cancer had mutated, then that meant that the cancer would be much more difficult to treat as it would be more resistant to traditional chemotherapies. If it hadn't mutated, there would be more drugs that we could use to fight my cancer. Well, the results are in and the cancer has NOT mutated. Hallelujah!!!

Steve said I should be including pictures again. He's right. I will take more pictures and add them to the blog now that I am feeling better. I have a hair appointment next week and I am considering a short (or shorter) haircut. The chemotherapy nurses said my hair would be thinning and if that is true, a shorter haircut might make it seem less traumatic in some way. So if I decide to go shorter, I will definitely include a before and after.

Hi Beth, Steve and kids,
That's what we all prayed for and that's what you got....more miracles! What great news! Thank God for more miracles. I can't wait to see your new haircut. Thank goodness you are such a pretty lady, you can wear you hair anyway you like. I work in a salon and see lots of stylish short hairdos. I'm sure yours will look adorable. Can't wait to see the pictures. We love you all so much, thanks for staying and touch. Love from Arizona, your aunties and family

Beth,

You are quite the writer. I wish I could write like you! I hope this week serves you better. I mailed the prayer blanket and pillow to you (on Friday)from Steve's mom, Ruth. I know you will like them. Keep them close to you as they hold very powerful prayers. We love you dearly and think about you everyday. Hang in there and take one day at a time.
Love, Cheryl
