The plan...maybe

We now have oral confirmation from Dr. Maris that the disease is much much worse. The liver may be involved and they are doing a CT-Scan to determine if the disease is in her brain. After the CT they are going to admit her to get her pain under control. The recommendation is to start Topotecan Vincristine and Doxirubican today. There were a few other options, however, we felt it best to allow Maris to just call this one. In the long run we may not beat ourselves up as much and that may just be better on several levels. Very clearly, we asked to be informed if we were giving futile treatment. We can not be selfish. Maris gave us his word that he would let us know if that were the case. On the other side of that issue we also stated plainly that we were willing to bear any cost in time, money, and effort to give her a shot at another good year of life.

Thank you for your continued support. Hopefully, your regularly scheduled blogger (Angela) will be back online tonight. I put a picture of Christi on top that shows her undaunted by the disease...the thought of the disease overtaking her is too much to bear.
