Hello family and friends,
A quick note to inform you of the results of my recent PET scan. I continue to have active cancer in the right hip; however, there’s not much change from the scan of 3 months ago. We are taking this as a win! Dr. Khan believes I have micro fractures in my spine and that’s adding to my pain level. I now have 2 stress fractures in my left foot in addition to those in my ribs and hip. These stress fractures are caused from 9 years of being on Xgeva, a bone strengthener. While it works to strengthen bones, it has caused brittle bones. To remedy the problem, he is discontinuing it. I will be having a bone density test to see what we’re dealing with. At this point, we are holding steady with my treatment plan.
We are so thankful that my immunotherapy is slowing the cancer progression down and that there is no new metastasis. God has a plan and we praise him for his amazing grace continually poured out on us.
As always, thanks for your fervent prayers, we are truly grateful.
All our love always,
Angie and Chip
