I Need a Miracle
Several of you have asked how my trip to the Mayo Clinic went. Thanks for asking. It was a good news/bad news situation.

I didn't qualify for the study because my disease (tumors) has not progressed enough (aren't large enough at this time) to be measurable. Currently I fall within their margin of error and they can't accurately measure my progress in the study. Being in the study is the only way to have access to new treatments for cancer. I am chemo-resistant, so the only treatments left for me are experimental, and the only way to gain access to those drugs is through a study.
My initial reaction to this news was positive, but after some discussion, I was told I should get my end-of-life things in order [b]and that I was looking at 6 months... possibly a year.

I am pursuing one other lead on a study at another institution but so far have been told that if I don't have measurable disease, I won't be admitted to any study anywhere (which makes sense from a research perspective).

I've come to believe this cancer, caused by the BRCA1 gene mutation, will only be healed by a miracle.
I know I've been the beneficiary of so many miracles and I am so grateful.
[center]Creator of all light,
I am in your arms.
I open to any and all miracles
I set aside all resistance, all doubt,
and ask to be completely healed.
Creator of all light, let it be so.[/c][/b][/center]
[b]Thank you all for your continued prayers.[/b]
Soft breezes to you.
Love, Wind
