Super de duper excited as our family
met Dr. Fadi Braiteh. He is an
amazingly brillant and caring
oncologist specializing in not only
adrenal cortical cancer, but Lynch
Syndrome also. He spent TWO HOURS
with our family today and was so
excited to tackle our case. Dr. Braiteh
says that Mike is not a zebra, but a
purple zebra. According to the latest
data that he has, there is only ONE other
man in the entire WORLD that has
both adrenal cortical cancer and Lynch
Syndrome. He is ready for the challenge
and so are we.
Mike's liver has to calm down just a
wee bit, but as soon as it does, we are
going to begin a clinical Phase 1 trial
that targets this beast. Although I wanted
to begin the treatment TODAY, he assures
us that July 26 will be the PERFECT day
to begin the trial as we need testing and
labs before we can begin. All of this takes
time. The labs also have to reveal that the
liver is not "hot".
Prayer project:
*Pray that Mike's liver numbers will
decrease.
*Pray for continued hope.
*Pray that we will remain eligible for
this clinical trial.
*Pray for our doctors and nurses.
. . . I just love HOPE!
Romans 12:12 Rejoice in hope, be patient
in tribulation, be constant in prayer.
