I had an appointment with medical oncologist today at Brookwood Medical Center here in Birmingham. She was so very nice and knowledge about the chemo drug I should be starting soon. I have appointment with radiation oncologist soon to be evaluated for cyberknife. She talked about starting me on Nexavar after cyberknife. I asked her why Nexavar instead of Sutent....after discussing a bit, she is going to tell me which will be better for me at my next appointment. I should hear from her soon.
On a side note, I ask all of you to remember my friend Dave in your prayers. He has just been diagnosed with Membranous Glomerulonephritis. He will be meeting with oncology next week to discuss starting chemo. He does not have cancer. His kidneys are shutting down and the chemo IS going to get rid of the bad cells and the kidneys WILL begin to work properly. That is my prayer and I do hope you will all join me.
I spoke to him earlier this evening and we were comparing doctor visits from today. He said his doctor has never treated anyone with Membranous Glomerulonephritis. We couldn't help but laugh when I told him my new oncologist has never treated anyone with my type of cancer. I keep reminding Dave it's good to laugh!
Thank you all for allowing me to share and I greatly appreciate each and everyone of you!
You are my angels that I just don't get to see everyday.
Much love,
Kelly

Kelly,
Thanks for the update. Blake and I are committed to praying for you....for strength throughout the chemo, for wisdom for the doctors (since they're aren't extremely experienced with your type of cancer), and anything else we can pray for. You have such a positive attitude.....very admirable!!!

So glad your appointment went well! Praying for you!
Also, thanks for the update on Dave... praying for him, too!
Kelly and Dave are high on the prayer list. Those doctors may have never treated anyone like it, but our God can! They are only His vessels. Love you much!!!
