I only know you through knowing and loving your wonderful momma and I have always said if I needed a nurse who would fight for me, it would be your momma. I know that God knows and hears the prayers of a living momma and she's one of the best But, know that there will be lots of other prayers petitioning the greatest physician to take charge of you and your care. I will appreciate all of your updates and keep in my that Pike County Ohio is praying for you, your family and the healthcare team.

So glad you did not have to fight insurance! You're research is awesome and thank you for sharing the info. I think knowing the science behind it, is really important. My Mom had Adriamycin and tolerated it pretty well, it was combined with Taxol (Breast Cancer). They were concerned with the lung damage as well; as she was a smoker. Good news is that her chemo was effective on stage 4 and it never came back :) It seemed that she needed about 3 days to rest after treatment and then would feel much better from that point. Please reach out if you need help or kids need anything!

The good thing about being a bit unusual is having a panel of experts deciding what to do! Praying!

Way to do your research, Rachel. After all you’ve learned, i think you can feel confident that you’re making the best choice. It’s reassuring to know that they’re continuing to improve and find the most effective and safe options. Thanks for this update!

Thank you so much for sharing all that information, Rachel! I'm so glad you've got such good oncologists, and it seems like you've found the right plan. Happy you're ready to move onto the next phase of the fight! Thinking of you.
