Dearest Alice,

Your quote from Corinthians sustains me each time I read it. You have been such great support and I am so happy for you.

My Onc is putting off my trip to MD Anderson because my mets are now extensive in the right breast. She is getting me into a trial which they are also doing at MD Anderson, with a drug called Pazopanib. For some odd reason the mets are growing at an alarming rate and quite painful so this is one of the last options for me.
The past 5 1/2 years have been such a blessing and I am praying for this drug to work and more time here with my grandchildren. I have not posted on the other board (the main one) because I am busy deciding what is in the near future should this drug not be effective. Please keep me in your prayers. You and ellie are my two IBC sisters and I love you both very much

Md Anderson may still be in the works but right now we are getting scans, ekgs, etc to see if I qualify. I will keep you posted. Tonight I send you my love and prayers, dear sister.

Love and hugs and God's blessings,
Vickie
