Carolyn’s Story

Site created on December 31, 2019

Mom was diagnosed with cancer of an undetermined origin in the gastric region in early December.  She has had issues eating and keeping food and liquids down for the last few months and has steadily lost weight and energy.  After much prayer and research, we finally have a clear direction, which we feel is an answer to prayer.  We had been pursuing a trial treatment through Yale Medical Center but the past week's decline in Mom's health made that decision difficult, since the trip to Yale from Albany would have been almost impossible for her.  Today, we praise the Lord because we finally have a definite no on Yale.  They do not have a trial for her type of cancer but were very encouraging about the treatment plan that had been presented by the oncologist in Albany.  They were also very encouraging about her odds of response to this treatment since she is BRCA2 positive.  Mom has had a better week after a hospital stay last week for a blood clot and dehydration, and has been able to eat just a little and keep it down.  We covet your prayers for her and us as we are on this journey.  Mom has said from the beginning that she is at total peace and her main desire is that God be glorified.
