After battling cancer for nine months with no positive results, it can be difficult to keep your spirits up. However, positive thinking and hope are your strongest allies in the battle. As a caregiver you are not only charged with keeping your hope and thinking positive, you have to keep the cancer patient hopeful and positive. It can be emotionally, physically and mentally exhausting. So if I don't post every day, please stick with me as I have so many wonderful recipes to share with you. However, at this time it may take me a little longer between posts.
All the chemotherapy armies that have been sent up against Tom's cancer have held the lines but have not been able to push the enemy back. Our fantastic doctor is now using a relatively new company called, Intervention Insights, http://www.interventioninsights.com/
I can't begin to tell you how this test works to find what will battle Tom's individual tumor but it sounds very exciting. We are very lucky to live so close to Grand Rapids as the research for this test was done at the Van Andel Institute for Cancer Research in Grand Rapids.
While we wait for results, we battle on trying to live in the moment, fight negativity, and trying to keep physically strong during this very trying time. If you or someone you know is in the battle, do check out the Intervention Insights web site as it is fascinating.
