We met with the oncologist today and decided on a game plan. After lots of thought and prayer, she is going to participate in a clinical study that UAB has just started within the last 3 months that's specifically designed for triple negative breast cancer. It consists of two drugs that will be mixed in with her chemo. She will take chemo once a week, for as long as it takes. Really, they couldn't give us a time frame. She will get it until the tumor shrinks or she can't tolerate it anymore. In order to participate in the trial, she has to have another biopsy, scan, and more blood work, which we hope will all get scheduled for next week. That way, maybe she could start treatment the following week. She also wants a port put in this go round, which we hope will be placed next week too.
It's been another long day, and our prayer tonight is that we helped make the right decision with her. This is going to be a long journey...
