A New Path Not a New Outcome

Hi Alex,

I, like everyone else, was waiting to get home and check for an update. I know that the results have helped your team decide what to do next and I have no doubt that, while there is a slight change in the treatment protocol, there is no change to the outcome. You will get to the finish line and like a marathon runner, you will let your body heal and you will live better and stronger than ever. Of course I wish this marathon had less hills, a few more breaks and perhaps a short-cut, but you are making the steady progress that is required not only to finish, but to do it still standing.

I know that you have put a lot into these results, but really they are most meaningful for your medical team so that they may fully attack the cancer and apply the best technology with the best minds so that you can have the best life. The other half of your treatment is equally important - James, family and friends, juice, breathing, broccoli, green tea, fresh air, and as many good moments as possible. You could not be making better progress in the part that you control!!!

Lots of hugs.

Love,
Lisa S
