Update #3

Dear friends,

I haven't much time but wanted you to know that the clinic of choice will accept Terrie as a patient, but with conditions. The clinic's usual requirement is that the patient stay for at least 2 weeks; 3 weeks is the usually recommended length of stay. In cases of metastasis to the bone, the treatment takes longer, and the prognosis is guarded. The clinic will accept Terrie as a patient on a week-to-week basis; if her blood tests show no improvement, the clinic will send her home at the end of the first week.

Please continue to keep Terrie and Marisa in your prayers, as well as those who are actively helping her to deal with all the various aspects that this cancer has brought.

I'll try to write more tonight -- if you're reading this blog, please comment so Terrie can hear from you -- and so I know that I am not journalling for myself. God bless!
