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.
