And three years later she is still here. She is doing great. They are "managing" the cancer. She has had gamma knife procedure twice now to eradicate cancer cells in her brain. There are lots of options out there. She had chemo yesterday morning then in the afternoon had a gyrotonic session with a client, and today she was off to the DC area for a Dance School reunion.... We've had some tough times to be sure, but bottom line is there is a lot doctors can do these days, and in some ways they treat cancer like a chronic condition. I'll keep the prayers coming, however... can't hurt that is for sure! hang in there! my sister has stage 4 metastisized breast cancer.. it was also in her lung, and brain (where it caused her seizures) and her bone and liver. chemo has been a godsend for her.

I’ll keep the prayers coming, however… can’t hurt that is for sure!
