Hi family and friends!
Wanted to let you know how my latest trip to Mayo went.

Unfortunetly, wasn't all good news!

Tuesday, I went in for the chest scan, and blood work.

Wednesday, I went to see the Dr. for the results and have chemo.

I have a new shadow, on my right lung, and and on my adrenal gland.
I also have a shadow on my lymph node...(same area as before)..
So, it was recommended we change chemo treatments to a different type,
with different goals. (the other treatments, were targeting tumors)...
this is just going throughout the body, and trying to get what is in it's way~
not sure how to explain it....

I now will have chemo once a week for three weeks, then a chest x ray;
then the same treatment the following three weeks, then a chest scan to
evaluate and see how things are working.

We are disappointed; however, we understand there are to be 'forks in the road',
so hopefully the next road will be a better destination.... if not, I feel the doctors' have 'maps of roads'!!!!!!
Please, continue the prayers and I do appreciate all of the encouragement I receive from
you all, in cards, calls and thoughts...

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Kim and Bill!
