Treatment no. 5

Morgan began the chemo treatment yesterday. Things went well. Her nausea is being controlled by the four anti-nausea meds. She completed the treatment at 5:30 and was able to eat dinner about an hour later. Her spirits are good and overall she feels well. She had her routine PET & CT scans last week and the results were good for both. Her oncologist was very excited that nothing new showed up on the lung CT. The very small "dot" that has been showing up since July in that right side of the lung may not be cancer after all. The thought was if it was cancer the chemo would kill it, it would fall apart and "get sent out with the trash". But, it is still sitting there, faded a bit but still there. It is too small for the surgeon to take out. I would love to have it removed just to get clarity on what exactly it is.

Ever since Morgan was diagnosed with cancer in 2008, I have spent a fair amount of time reading and researching cancer related issues. Not only is cancer on the increase for our society as a whole but so is autisim, attention deficit disorder, depression and downs syndrome. Why? Well, no one knows for sure, but I am convinced our food supply has a lot to do with it. Our food contains things that 15 years ago it did not. Our milk supply for example is probably the most "contaminated". Cows are being pumped full of antibiotics and steroids all in the name of profits. If you haven't already done so, I encourage you to switch to organic milk. Kroger and Target both carry their store brands of organic milk and it doesn't cost much more than the regular milk and it doesn't come from cows that have been given antibiotics and steroids or other growth hormones.

Please continue to pray for Morgan. We appreciate your support more than words can express. Also, please pray for my dad this week. He has had a terrible cold/allergies and has pulled something in his back while coughing. He is having a miserable week.
