Dr. McCollum called today about 5:30. He said the scan didn't show anything unusual. There didn't seem to be any blockage or appreciable growth in the tumors or the mass in the lower abdomen. He feels that our best option would be to start the new drug, everoline; the one that has not been approved by Medicare. He wants us to take the prescription to the Baylor Hospital pharmacy, hoping they will be able to fill it. It worked with one of his other patients.
We see the doctor this Friday and our prayer is that Medicare will approve the payment for the drug. If they do, it could help with the symptoms that have been bothering Judy too often.
We continue to be awed by God's use of Judy's illness to touch many lives that probably would not otherwise be influenced. We have a wonderful peace that is beyond our understanding. We are truly blessed. And may God bless all of you,
Judy and Ronnie
