Prayers for you and your daughter. Ask her doctors about the possibility of Proton radiation as opposed to photon (x-ray) radiation. Proton is less invasive and safer if the tumor is the type that can respond. You might want to google Proton radiation to see what you can learn. I know there is a center in Mass. Best wishes to you and God's healing for your daughter.
Im sorry to read about this Lenny, never pleasant news; I wish her the best and I hope you are able to remain strong to support her in her time of need!
You're in my thoughts mate.
Glad to hear about the biopsy going well. The next steps will start her on her road to treatment and elimination of the cancer. Hope she and your family are doing well with all of these changes.
We traveled to Boston Thursday night and met with doctors at Dana Farber Friday morning for the results of the biopsy. We were able to get on the road home early enough to outrun the worst of the blizzard home. That was the only good news I can report. Jessie's tumor is a stage 3 and will be treated with aggressive radiation and chemo. With treatment, which we were told can be done locally (Augusta) they say she will have about two years! She turned 25 on Friday. Somehow she remains positive.
Stage 3 is better than stage 4. Both my daughter and I have been there. After that, God's blessing on all of you, stay strong and positive, please find peace
Power of prayer can work miracles. I pray she can pull through this and live a very long and happy life. May the good Lord bless her, as well as you and all her family.
I am glad that she can be treated locally as it will make it easier being near home, family and friends. She sounds like an amazing young woman. Her outlook will help her through the treatment. I think that prognosis change from day to day. She sounds like she will give the cancer a run for it's money and will live many years to come.
Glad that you beat the storm.
My wife and I will be praying for you and your family. We also have a 25 yo daughter named Jessica, and brother, I can't even imagine what ya'll are going through. God will sustain you.
