Through a series of tests over the last 9 weeks my Mom was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer that spread to her liver and lung. Her Dr.'s say it is incurable but that they can prolong her life with Chemotherapy treatments every-other week. Last week she got a permanent "port" put in to receive the chemo treatments and another scan to be used as a baseline for comparison through treatment. Last Friday was her appointment with her oncologist to talk treatment schedules and such.
THE SHORT:
Comparing the latest scan to the one from 8 weeks ago...her liver cancer appears to be shrinking! This is before any treatment. In regards to some previous lesions the report reads 'RESOLVED!' It's an answer to prayer. Praise the Lord! She still does have cancer in her colon, lung and liver but this is great news that it isn't growing.
The best part of it is that my Mom won't be starting Chemotherapy just yet. She will most likely wait 6-8 more weeks and get another scan. So keep on praying for complete healing!
One more quick note...I've been amazed at the strength and grace that my Mom has shown through this tough time. She is one stellar woman and I love her dearly.
