Kay has been diagnosed with bone cancer. She had her first appointment yesterday with the oncologist. They told her...
Quote:
I'm supposed to be in a lot of pain but no one told my body that. My pain is getting better and better and is practically gone. I'm sure that it is all your answered prayers. (Kay had already told her Hoosier Club about this and they have been praying for her) The spots on the bone might be from my kidney cancer and if they are it is treated with a pill that has a high success rate of stopping the growth of cancer. He is scheduling me for a biopsy on the lower spine (where the largest spot is). If these spots are "not" from my kidney cancer he didn't go into what the treatment will be. I think they seem to be sure it is from the kidney cancer. We will soon find out. I told Gary to relax because things could be worse. The doctor said, "Yes, they could be a lot worse." I told Gary to look on the bright side - at least my heart and lungs are healthy. Gary seemed to lighten up a bit.You all know where I place my hope and it is not in a pill.
It has been over a year ago that Kay had her right kidney removed due to cancer. Kay has the most up beat and caring attitude about life and it's tribulations. I would like to quote her again for those of you who don't know her to understand the kind of caring and God fearing woman that she is.
Quote:
As most of us are aware that every day and every step in our lives are orchestrated by God. He asks us, "Who can add one day to their life?" We are created for a purpose and we will here long enough to fulfill that purpose.

Please add Kay & Gary to your personal and prayer lists.

Kay is going to have a needle biopsy of one of the spots in the next few days and if it is the Renal cancer, her Doctor has told her it will be cured with a pill!

Kay has always been someone with a wonderful spirit and wonderful attitude. Her work here is not done. So keep praying!

My prayers go out to Kay and Gary. I hope she gets better fast. Tell her to keep her great
attitude. I have a friend who was diagnosed
with cancer fifteen years ago. I have always admired her for her very positive attitude and
she is still with us.

Here is the update on Kay...
Quote:
We found out my bone cancer is caused from my renal cancer. I will be put on a drug called, Sorafenib, this week. I take it twice daily. It is a cancer medicine specifically designed for renal (kidney) cancer. It works by keeping tumor cells from multiplying in the body.

The side effects are minimal. I will be given Zometa (bone strengthening treatments) by IV once every four weeks. I will have to check in with the Siteman Cancer Center once a week for blood test, etc. as a part of the treatment. I will be given bone scan and MRI periodically just to check to see if the treatment is working. We were very encouraged after we left his office. Thanks for all your prayers. They are being answered daily.
Let's all keep the good thoughts and prayers going for Kay & Gary.

I had dinner with Gary & Kay and Roy & Carolyn last evening. Kay is looking good and started her treatment this past week. Kay says she is feeling fine but can't lift anything so Gary in doing it for her. It was great to see Kay and Gary.
