MRI Results and Next Steps

Jenny had another MRI performed yesterday and we met with her oncologist today to discuss the results:

The MRI shows some signs of new tumor growth, not enormous, but detectable. This was not want we wanted, but what we expected, given her symptoms that we have observed over the last few weeks. 

So, now we will send the latest MRI up to Duke and see if she now qualifies for the polio vaccine trial.  This may involve further testing and it is not clear if she is a good candidate or not. If she does not qualify for the trail, we will try a different type of chemo (pill based) to see if that will help limit the tumor's ability to grow.  

She had a great time this week-end with some very long-time friends from the DC area, everyone was encouraged by their fellowship and God's loving care that he provides to us through dear friends. 

I thought that I would add one of our Christmas photos, since we were not that good at getting all of our Christmas cards out this year:

Thanks for your continued prayers, pray for us to have wisdom during this time of decision making, and that we could bring glory to God in the process...
