...."God is our refuge and strength an ever - present help in times of trouble"
Psalm 46:1
With many of my support group present - we met w/Dr Anderson to discuss treatment options.
As Dr Anderson explains to us while there is no medical cure - the treatment approach he recommends is a more moderate approach - geared to slowing the cancer down while keeping a quality to life. He explains it’s important for me to move forward making plans doing some things important to me (a special trip, etc)
Another aggressive treatment approach that would have to be done at Bethesda, MD is a possible option IF I would be accepted into the clinical trial but he cautions us - Pointing out my overall health condition has been compromised from the last aggressive round of treatment which causes concern as to how I would hold up in this approach through 3 - 6 months treatment. The quality of life would be very compromised due to high toxicity levels involved in this treatment.
I explain that I feel a strong desire to fight but at the same time, a strong desire to keep a decent quality as a priority. I hope everyone that loves me, and this affects understand that sometimes quality is more important than quantity. It’s important to me that I’m well enough to make some new great memories that include others I love so much.
