Gamma Knife Radiation

11-21-09 Kecia was notified on Friday that her insurance will cover the surgery. What a HUGE answer to prayer! It is scheduled for December 10th. She is still very anxious about the procedure itself, but excited that it is expected to completely remove all traces of cancer from her brain. She felt pretty good this weekend..had dinner with the family on Saturday and made it to church this morning. This was her week off of the hard chemo so she got a much needed break from being sick. She started it again this afternoon so by tomorrow she probably wont leave the bed very much for the next 2 weeks. My understanding is that the "hard chemo" pill is taken for 2 weeks then off for 1 week. She takes the other chemo pill daily, and still goes in once a month for the IV chemo.
She has a tiny bit of hair growth (YEAH!) and has lost a few pounds since stopping the steroid treatment. (YEAH! YEAH!) As you remember, she was hospitalized last year for both Thanksgiving and Christmas so we are excited by the prospect that she will be home with us this year. Your prayers are addictive and we just can't get enough so keep em coming!
