Undecided

What to do?! I made a phone call to Karmanos Cancer Center this week. I was told that it will be the middle of June before I should call back. This is not a definite opening just that it will be at a stand still until that time frame. I asked about the blood work and CT's and the reply was that there is no need for those unless a there is a change in Tom's status. The phone call ended and I felt very frustrated once again!

I should however, take you back to the week before. I was talking with Tom's primary office and was told that they had not received anything from Karmanos. Once they did get the information Dr. Divic called Tom on a Thursday evening to tell Tom that his Calcitonin level dropped 300. He is in the 700 range. Dr. Divic said that he was not sure what this meant, but wanted to share this as good news.

So, today our options now are either to wait out this clinic trial opening or to return to U of M to start their regiment. Tom and I have discussed this past week which is the better option. We are uncertain which is the better path. It feels once again as if there 2 distinctly different paths and we are standing at the Y of the road. I am going to make a few more calls this upcoming week and confirm that Tom will either need to choose and can't flop between. I also will seek out from his primary, if I can, a professional opinion of which way we should go.

I wanted to share this with you so that we could once again pray for direction. Thank you to our prayer warriors that have not ceased prayers for our family. I was reminded again this week about praying without ceasing and that we give up to easily. Let us be assured that our God is in control.

Psalms 119:105 "Your words are a flashlight to light the path ahead of me, and keep me from stumbling."
