First here's a pic of Ben after a Cajun lunch we did at church last weekend. He really digs those beads... We've been helping a church in New Orleans by sending money to rebuild - and this weekend they come up to cook us some authentic Cajun food and invited our parish to lunch!Sarah and I went to go get the MRI results - there was good news all around. Her pituitary adenoma shrank significantly and her pituitary is now considered "normal" size. No change in her spine (that's good) and all other organs except the liver are clear. The liver mets are smaller and fewer in size overall (yes!). So, she'll stick to this chemo drug weekly unless something changes. The doc will continue to monitor tumor markers in her blood and also liver enzymes monthly to verify that the treatment continues to work. Assuming all goes well, the next set of MRIs would be six months from now.
It is a great feeling to know that we've finally found something that has halted the relentless advance of Sarah's breast cancer. There are no guarantees for how long this will work, but we are just celebrating "today" and hoping it will be a long time! Gotta take it one step at a time and focus on life.

Wonderful news! Very glad to hear it.
Sarah, I'm a Nov '97 mom from the old PP site and Eone has kept me up on our progress. I now follow your website and pray for you and yours faithfully, and I'm so excited to hear of your good response to this treatment! Yours and Alan's responses to this have been such a witness and example for me, and I thank you both for sharing it online. We will continue to pray for continued good results.
