1 More Day!
It has been almost a week since the last update so I wanted to take a few minutes and give you the latest information. Tomorrow is the day we head to Mayo to meet Dr. Goetz. While this provokes many emotions, it allows us to begin the process of moving forward.....this is something we are all desperately needing!
On Friday we finally got to meet Dr. Wilbur, who came highly recommended to us. She was the blessing that we needed after a week of the unexpected. Having someone who is willing to "fight the fight" is exactly what I was looking for. While this path is certainly not one I would have envisioned a month ago, it also will not define me and I will stop at nothing to not only help myself but all of those suffering! Although we were able to meet with Dr. Wilbur, our ultimate plan going forward will be with Dr. Goetz and she will be our liaison in Cedar Rapids, providing any resources here that are possible.
So, here we are today, 1 day from our visit. I will provide an update later this week after we talk to Mayo.
My ultimate prayer (for the past week and especially tonight) is for a miracle proving that the PET scan was wrong and there is no cancer in the bones! I hope you, too, will join me in these prayers and prayers of healing going forward.
I hope you are having a great week! It was the first day of school today here; what a joy it was to be surrounded by such excitement and truly love to learn! Have a fantastic week!

Amy, prayers for you. Mayo staff were wonderful for me earlier this year. Hopefully they will help you too.
ReplyDeleteAmy, Dr Wilbur is my oncologist as well. I think she is honest, straight forward, and always willing to fight the fight! Having survived stage 4 cancer myself, and being cancer free for 2 years I can attest to the fact that attitude and prayers go a long way. Our family is including you in our prayers. Carolyn and the Callahan family
