It has been a wild ride this week on our medical roller coaster.
As I type, I am in the waiting room of the surgical center where, in about an hour, they will insert a device called a portacath into my chest. This is a semi-permanent catheter that resides under the skin and allows for easier administration of the chemotherapy drugs.
On another note, I have been offered a spot in a clinical trial of a new, powerful drug for Her2 positive metastatic breast cancer. This is huge for me and exactly what my hope had been in choosing UCLA for my treatment.
It looks like they are ready for me, so I will post more on this later!

Being one of 7 children, I can look at you with genuine knowledge and appreciation for your role as a mother to your brood. And then here you are, holding yourself up by that thick tightly woven rope of faith, on top of it all. You are strong! You are giving and recieving! Now my father has us all praying for you (and that's a lot of extra prayers!). - Melita
