Hi Family and Friends,
Again the peace of God is on us in the midst of not the best news. We went to see Dr. Rigberg today to get the results of the most resent scans taken last week. It shows that the tumors are slightly larger. Everything is still in the same general area in my chest around where the original tumor was. Dr. Rigberg wanted to see more stability meaning no growth at all or even having the tumor shrink. So there is no point in doing more of the same chemo what I was doing. He then said that he has exhausted all his options for me. There is nothing left for me to try that is available commercially.
He is now suggesting that I see a new Dr. at a place called Premiere Oncology in Santa Monica. His name is Dr. Lee Rosin. They deal primarily with clinical trials on experimental drug therapies. This is a hopeful thing. I have an appointment set already for this Thurs. the 20th. I will have more information about what to expect after this appointment. So many questions at this point. Driving all the way to Santa Monica for treatment does not sound too fun. But at least it is not some place really far away.
We really feel that God is leading our path. This is a place that I cannot just drop in and try. I needed to have tried all the drugs that I did try first. I could not go if my health were in worse condition. I am blessed that I have made it through so much chemo and have been able to do so much more that most. I have been limited but nothing like some people unable to get out of bed. I get out of bed everyday and take care of the family. I don't always feel like it. But, praise God I am able to do it! I do not know what awaits us next. But, we are both ready to find out. So keep praying and we will wait to see the hand of the Lord move in a mighty way!!
God Bless each and everyone of you for you faith!!
Love from the Wolf family, Larry, Peggy, Lexie, Trinity and Joshua

Dear Peggy, God is directing your path, and I believe wholeheartedly He is taking you where He wants you to be. You are a faithful servant, and His rewards will be plentiful. I love your attitude, and my faith and relationship with God has gotten closer because of what you are going through, and the example of true faith you are providing for us all. Thank YOU for being who you are! I love you tons, my friend! Ann
Dearest Peggy,
My family unites with yours in prayer, my BSF gals also, so I'm so glad you are finding His peace which surpasses all understanding. I hope the clinical trial that Dr Rosin puts you on will be the one that cures you. I will pray for His wisdom to work through Drs all around you! (It may even be my company, Amgen's trial!)
Driving to Santa Monica has it's ups...the view along the coast is Gorgeous, there is a starbucks on PCH (at trancas), and lunch dates with whom ever takes you! I didn't look forward to going to UCLA until I realized that I could take a new "chaperone" to have lunch with(if I wasn't too spent) or just to chat with. It has been such a blessing to spend that time with a loved one! Let me know if you need a ride! You can be my "chaperone" and I could be yours! (Plus I'm used to it!)
Love you!
