Trial Study

10-02-09 Kecia has decided to once again fight and not give in to the cancer that keeps attacking her body. She now faces another very important decision. Her doctors think that she will qualify for a new trial study of a certain chemo pill. The pros would be that it is supposed to target cancer on the brain and it would be taken orally rather than through IV. The cons are that it has not yet proven itself and is still in the trial stages and that she would have to have no treatments for 2 weeks before she could begin. This would mean giving the cancer 2 extra weeks to spread and grow without even knowing if the treatment will work. She will be told on Monday if she qualifies. She needs to know by then if she is going to do it or stick to her more traditional methods. If she does not enter the trial, her doctor has another chemo that he hopes will supress the cancer and that she will not be resistant to. She is so scared of making the wrong decision. It is little more than a guess one way or another. We were only able to speak on the phone for a few minutes while she was between scans so I don't know if there is more info or if that is all she has to make her decision with. She asked that I send out an urgent request asking everyone to pray that God will speak to her in a way that she can understand and help her make the best decision. She should also have the results of her full body scan by Monday afternoon to determine whether the cancer is contained in her brain or if it has spread elsewhere. Please keep praying about that as well.
