Treatment: Day 1

Today is IMG_1131day 1 of treatment. 

God is moving quickly:

Monday: Approved for Tarceva, the prescription targeted therapy. At that time they said it would be shipped to the house in 5-7 days.

Tuesday: Tarceva is on it’s way it may be here by Wednesday.

Wednesday: Tarceva arrived at the house by 2pm. 10pm she took the first dose.

THANK GOD! We’ve been praying that all will go well with the approval of the medication through the insurance and treatment could start soon. My mom is so thankful for everyone’s prayers and thankful for God’s hand in the quick timeline and comfort. Please continue to pray and send out good vibes that the medication will take effect quickly and strongly, with minimal side-effects. Tarceva is a targeted therapy medication specifically for this type of EGFR mutation of the tumors. It is less toxic than chemo, and possibly more effective. It should help stop the growth and the spread of the tumors, shrink the existing tumors, and lessen some of the symptoms she is experiencing now, like coughing and shortness of breath.

We are all hopeful and trusting God to guide her treatment. Thank you for your continued support and prayers.

More updates to come,

  3. Thank you for a place we can “check in on you” without disturbing you during your treatment. Been keeping you in my prayers (and your family!) – So happy we were able to reconnect at the NAD meetings in Austin! Remembering that God loves us more than we can imagine helps us know He can bring good out of even the bad things that happen to us. Courage! Becky
