This week has been another long trial. I saw my Oncologist on Wednesday after the PET scan that was done, and we didn’t get good news. I have been feeling great on some days, and then it turns to awful a day later. She ordered a brain MRI which was done today.
The PET scan showed several new areas of cancer in my body, but we didn’t get much detail. There were cancer cells in my throat, adrenal glands, and other areas. The brain MRI was clear, at least.
With these test results, Dr. Aggarwal recommended that we see another Dr. in Indy, Dr. Kathy Miller, that we met two years ago. She may be able to include me in a new drug trial that is having great results, so we see her next Wednesday. My first trip this month to Indy was most likely a waste of time, because now Dr. Miller is working with dr. Aggarwal to get me started on treatment ASAP. Surgery is being held off for now.
We’re somewhat scared about the new cancer, but we’re excited to see Dr. Miller again. Please pray that I’ll be accepted into the trial and start treatment ASAP.
We feel your prayers through this battle, and we’re confident that your strength is helping us survive these tough times.
We love you,
Sandy and Mark

Mom,
I can only imagine that you are tired of fighting but there is a time when you can let your guard down and let your family take some of the burden to help you fight. You have always been strong and my only hope in life is that I can be half as strong as you are. I love you and I want to help any way that I can. Be strong enough to ask. I love you mom and Mark.
I continue to pray for you and your family. Sandy you are a saint after all you have been through. Your whole family is incredible.
Sandy, let your daughters help you. Whitney is pleading for you to let her help you – please do. She needs to be needed also.
Your husband is another saint. He is always by your side and always there to help you.
The love in your family is tremendous. God has blessed you with the best of the best.
I will continue to pray for your strength, hope, and that your doctors can get you accepted for the new treatment real soon.
Keep us informed. God bless all of you.
Sandy -
During the silence of your blog, know that you have been lifted in prayer time after time.
