Just got an Update from Amy

Got an email update from Amy.......................

Just a quick update from Dr. visit yesterday.  The chemo treatments that she has been on have not been as effective as hoped for.  Which means she continues to have to drain the liquid off her lungs. The doctor started Amy on the chemo pill (Tarceva) when she got home after her doctor visit.  Amy was hoping to take the pill 7 weeks ago when they first talked about different options.  Please pray that this method of Chemo can do the job to at least stop the disease from spreading. 

They have taken her off blood thinner medication because they want to schedule a biopsy of the outer lung/lung wall.  The sample will go off for evaluation - may take 3 - 4 weeks to get results back.  They're hoping this will help to better define the cancer and how to treat it. 
Amy probably won't be providing too many updates between now and then.  

I'll post any updates I can. Continue to keep Amy in your prayers and thoughts.
