Haven't had much to report lately. Kecia has been in the bathroom for the past 4 months with sickness related side effects. She hasn't been out of the house except for doctor visits in a long time. But finally, I have some good news to report. Kecia had scans done this week and yesterday afternoon her doctor said "well Kecia, I guess you get to ring that bell again" (refering to the bell in his lobby that patients ring when they have been given the "you're in remission" news) Several of Kecia's nurses were out there and they started crying..lots of hugs for everyone. Her doctor explained that once again, there is no cancer detected in her body and only the "scars" from where they were remains. There is a tiny exception to that, being the pin point dot on her brain that is literally the size of a pin point. All of the other spots on her brain are gone and this one has been this size for a long time with no changes so he feels confident it is dead as well. YEAH!!!!! But what we are even more excited about is the change that will occur in her chemo treatments. Back when Kecia was first diagnosed (2 and a half years ago) her doctor had said that his goal was to keep her alive until cure for this type of cancer was discovered. That hasn't happened yet, but a really great med has finally been approved for use. It has been in trials the whole time Kecia has been in treatment. I cant remember any of the names but Im going to attempt to explain this to you. She is taking 3 different chemo meds right now. The most powerful one she takes (which has these horrible side effects) she will not take anymore. Instead, she will take this new chemo which is a once a month shot. It is supposed to be more effective on this type of cancer but have less side effects. YEAH YEAH!!! The other 2 meds, she will continue to take but at a very small dose. Currently she is taking enough to treat an elephant, is what her doctor says. It will take a few weeks for the strong stuff to get out of her system so relief of symptoms wont be immediate, but we are expecting her to feel alot better by next month!!! This is such wonderful, blessed news. Her mom said "I don't know why I worry so much. Every single time there has been a need God has jumped in and taken care of it". God is so good! I couldn't wait to share this news with you! Kecia's birthday is June 7th and I am praying that she feels great, is cancer free, and up being productive again by then. I have been encouraging her to seek God's will and guide her to her "after recovery plan" where she will be able to be a light in the dark for other people. I know God wants to use Kecia for powerful and mighty things! Thank you SO MUCH for all of your prayers. Kecia is a living miracle and she couldn't have made it without all of the prayers and support of friends and family. Last night she said "Im ready to LIVE and be more than just ALIVE"
