Alice traveled to M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston this week. (See post dated 3/16/09 to learn more about Alice.) It was time for tests to determine the status of her tumors. The good news is that the tumors have shrunk some, but, not enough for surgery.So, she returns to Kerrville for 6 more infusions of chemo. She'll have an infusion every 3 weeks, with a trip back to M.D. Anderson after the first 3. That means the earliest surgery could take place would be after the first of the year.
The wonderful news is that the experts are amazed at her longevity and spirit. On Wed., after waiting 3 hours to see the doctor, she was just so excited to finally get in she beamed with happiness. The assistant gave her a hug and told her she had made her day with her cheerfulness.
So, please continue to pray for Alice, the walking miracle. Pray that God's healing touch will be upon her and that He will continue to bless her with His strength, courage, faith, peace and joy.
I will continue to keep her in my prayers. I am happy to hear that the tumors have at least shrunk even if it isn't enough at this time. She is certainly a woman of courage and unwaivering hope.
