I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday. Jeanie and Kecia actually hosted for our family gathering this year and it was a great treat. Just like old times. Kecia felt pretty good for awhile then went to be for the night around 4. But just having her up and about with us for the afternoon was nice. They have received some good news this week. But first let me back track....after all the changes with Kecia's cancer treatment center closing down, she was forced to find a new doctor so that she could get treatments locally without having to check into the hospital for every treatment. She may go back to dr wazenski once he has reestablished with a new clinic but for now she has found someone else. He ran some more scans...now back to the good part....and they came back very positive. She had not been able to get any of her chemo except the one that protects the brain, during this whole dr switch time. She was concerned for how much cancer would have grown back. But her cancer markers were at ZERO. I don't know exactly what that means but it's good! Her brain scan revealed the tiny spots on her brain are still there, but no new growth! AMEN! Her heart function has improved from the low 20's to the upper 40's. He would like them to be above 50 for her to recieve any more chemo and since there has been no new growth he wants to keep off the big chemos and just do the herceptin (which is a preventative) and the brain preventative that I can't remember the name of. She will continue on her heart meds and her shots that prevent her body from producing estrogen. So in a nutshell...she stays on preventative meds and heart boosting meds but stopped taking the heart killing meds because there is no active cancer that needs attacking. YEAH! Emotionally Kecia is so encouraged by this news. Thank you all for your continued prayers. Maybe now she will start feeling like getting out there and reconnecting with friends. Thats one of my next prayers for her right now.
