Unfortunately, mom's scan results from the crizotinib showed that the medicine did not work at all. It had zero effect on the cancer and the tumors have grown 2-3 times the size. We are all so upset from this news because we all believed that this miracle drug would work. We have another appointment on tuesday to discuss new treatment options and clinical trials. Whatever we decide is going to be labeled as third line treatment. The clinical trials we have so far been told of are stage 1 clinical trials which means that they are completely new and have not been tried yet. If she decides to do a clinical trial the next one doesn't start for 5 weeks. This means she cannot be on any other treatment during that waiting "washout" period. Even then, I don't know if she will get in the trial because she is on a waiting list and then when the time comes they run tests to see if she is even eligible.
The other choice is to just start taking either Tarceva or Taxol. I will post info about both.
Mom, is extremely positive and so incredibly strong. We must all continue to pray because God can heal her. I believe it is his will and that this is another bump in the road.
Psalm 41:3
The LORD sustains them on their sickbed and restores them from their bed of illness.
Let us pray:
Dear Lord of Mercy and Father of Comfort,
You are the One I turn to for help in moments of weakness and times of need. I ask you to be with your servant, Cindy Hudson, in this illness. Psalm 107:20 says that you send out your Word and heal. So then, please send your healing Word to your servant, Cindy Hudson. In the name of Jesus, drive out all infirmity and sickness from her body.
Dear Lord, I ask you to turn this weakness into strength, suffering into compassion, sorrow into joy, and pain into comfort for others. May your servant trust in your goodness and hope in your faithfulness, even in the middle of this suffering. Let her be filled with patience and joy in your presence as she waits for your healing touch.
Please restore your servant, Cindy Hudson, to full health, dear Father. Remove all fear and doubt from her heart by the power of your Holy Spirit, and may you, Lord, be glorified through her life.
As you heal and renew your servant, Lord, may she bless and praise you.
All of this I pray in the name of Jesus Christ.
Amen.
