We were able to meet with Dr. Heaney at UCLA this morning. He is a very impressive and educated man. He not only has an MD but a PHD as well. He knows his stuff!! He was able to review all my information so far. He said that given the circumstances, with the tumor spreading to the lymph nodes and the levels on a KI 67 test, that he highly recommened the chemo and radiation that Dr. Rigberg (my local oncologist) had suggested. He order a few more tests like a bone scan and another octriotide scan and more blood work. I set an appointment with Dr. Rigberg to see him next Mon. the 13th. He will most likely want to get me started on treatments asap. Dr. Heaney did seem to think that waiting to start the treatments was ok because it has given my body more of time to heal from the surgery. Hopefully, I will tolerate the treatments just a little be better than I would have if I had started a two months ago.
Thanks for all the prayers. Keep praying I'm not out of the woods yet. I know God is by my side.
Lots of love to you all!!

Hi Peggy,
We are glad to hear you finally spoke w/this specialist. You have looked stronger each time I have seen you and God is even stronger.Larry referred to the verse today that says that God is faithful to complete the work he started in us. It is amazing to think that even during times of great challenge and distraction, God continues the work He started in us--He is never distracted. I will be praying for you Peggy as you enter a new phase is this journey. God is faithful
