December 29 Morning Update

I saw the oncologist this morning and he was not encouraging. He recommended two forms of a drug. One is an oral form and the other is delivered through an IV. As I think about it, I don’t see much difference between them. I have called a doctor friend to see if there is any other oncologist I should call.

Calling in a second opinion on something like this is a very good move. Good luck and keep us posted. You are in our prayers.

Dear Ted & Karol,

Wishing you many blessings and love in 2007. We are praying that each day is a bit better than the day before. Stay strong. Thinking of you and hope another oncologist has more options for you. As your parents said, there are new treatments being found that just might be a wonderful fit for you. Hoping and praying for that.

My husband & I are going to Arizona for a few weeks. I will miss your blog a lot. There is a computer center where we'll be staying, so I'll certainly try to keep up with your wonderful blog. Our very best, Ruth & Dave Berlien
