The Women's Breakfast is the same weekend as WinterFest and some of us will miss hearing Kayci speak. Any chance we can get this recorded?

I'm sure that would be a possibility. I'll ask around and see what I can find out.

The latest from Emily...please keep her in your prayers.
Hi,



After completing my 4th round of chemo in Houston, we met with the doctor. She said it was no longer working to shrink the tumors, and she recommended a new chemo that I can take from home in Dallas. The insurance company approved the first part, a pill form, but would not approve the second part, a weekly injection. Both my doctors, in Houston and here, say the new drug is a “place holder” which means the tumors will stay the same size. The effects of the new chemo will only last about 4-5 months. If I get too incapacitated from the effects, or if I tolerate them well, it will be in this year that they are no longer effective in fighting my cancer.



The doctors at M.D.A. are always working on the latest and greatest therapies. However, it may not be soon enough for me. Anyway, I’m starting to take my chemo today for five days, and again in a month. Then I’ll go back to Houston to get my tests and results. I’ll keep in touch in the meantime.



Love,



Emily
