Refractory. What an ugly word.
In last month’s update, I mentioned an uptick in one of the cancer markers. Shortly after that update a routine lab prompted a flurry of diagnostic activity (new PET, biopsy, office sit down, etc.) and the results are not what we wanted to hear. So – after 9 months of chemo and steadily chipping away at this bastard, our girl is basically starting over with a new drug. Supposedly, it is the bombdigity and tailer made for a stubborn cancer of this type. God and I will have words one day. Anyway – Cathy is a fighter and remains tough but a 9 month slog is unforgiving and weighs on her each day. The Early October labs will be a special MM deep dive and will give us some indication of how this new drug is performing. Meanwhile - Say a prayer for our girl, and tell your friends to do the same.

Late June News for Record
Hey Friend, As promised, All Corn and Soy Free (CSF) chicken inventory is loaded, Shop today for orders pick up this Saturday at the farm or the farmers market. A couple of notes on this first batch of birds:Growth was exceptional, but some of the birds are bigger than we like which means the boneless, skinless breasts may be bigger than you like. A great meal prep batch however.Whole birds - Same very large. Great roasting birds to squirrel away. Fewer CSF birds, which means that inventory will exhaust first. Next harvest is Late July.
