Well the scans are in. Two of Sheri's tumors grew slightly in the last two months, and there is one tiny new one. Keep in mind all of these are quite small, but you don't mess with stuff in the head.....so now we are a candidate for Gamma Knife surgery. If you read back several months ago we were here once before but the Doctors over there (UW) sent us back because we're COUGS!!!! Just kidding, because Sheri didn't quite fit their criteria, now she does. So next Wednesday and Thursday we head to Seattle. While we're over there we are going to meet a Nature Path Doctor to discuss nutritional things we can be doing better to help Sheri's body win. 17 years ago my Mom beat back a watermelon sized tumor in her abdomen with an alternative therapy, no chemo or radiation, so we know this can play a very important role. We have changed our diet a lot, but I think we can take another step.
A piece of good news is another Doctor looked at Sheri's other scan (her body PT) and they determined it is not in her bones. We are continuing to ask God for a complete healing. I know my Mom is in His ear telling Him to heal "that one." We have the best cheerleader on our side up there now! It's been a rough two weeks, but we are pushing through it. I guess my Mom was a great example for us, in 17 years she had a lot of bad news, bad scans, proceedures, doctors appointments. In between all that stuff, there is still a lot of life to live. We are going to follow her lead and push on with this fight......and.....keep looking up.
