Mom went to the Oncologist for her CT Scan results. As she expected the tumor has increased in size by .2 mm. It’s a small increase but nevertheless not positive news.

Mom has been feeling very ill since she started this new Chemo in May. She was supposed to have 1 more treatment next week but has decided to stop. Dr. Zakari has requested a consultation with his team this Friday, July 20th to discuss options including a pill that is typically used to treat Melanoma and another pill used to treat Breast Cancer. This is based on the Foundation One testing Mom had back in April when her tissue was sent out for a genomic profile of her tumor. Based on their findings, she has a similar DNA structure as those with Melanoma/Breast Cancer, therefore we are hoping using these options to better target the tumors will give her positive results. 

I ask that you please send your regards, positive thoughts and any other encouragement to both my parents. They are going through unimaginable stress right now and need all the strength possible.
