Ana Updates 018 January 15th 2009 (English)

January 15, 2009


Today we got some awesome news.

As you may recall Ana is getting chemotherapy in her bloodstream to fight the breast tumor. She is also getting chemo applied directly into her spinal fluid since the cancer has also attacked the meninges membrane the wraps around the brain.

This morning I was informed by the doctor that there are no more cancer cells in her spinal fluid that means that there is no more cancer in her meninges!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dr. Kaywin called me at 7:30 this morning I was getting the kids ready for school. When he told me I was jumping, crying and shouting and the kids were looking at me like I was due for the loony bin.

Of all the problems we are facing this was the most acute. If we couldn’t stop the attack on her central nervous system everything else would be useless. We needed to stop this so we could have a chance to fight the other battles. This is a major breakthrough a giant step forward.

In our conversation with Dr. Kaywin he told me he was totally amazed with her progress. When we started with the combination of radiotherapy and chemo simultaneously he told me it was basically against the “better judgment” of other doctors who recommended that he “let her go in peace”. So here we are instead of planning a funeral we’re setting up her rehabilitation process.

I’m too tired to get into details. I promise to update other aspects of what’s happening with Ana later on.

There will be a special Mass for Ana at Good Shepherd 14187 SW 72nd Street Miami FL on Saturday January 17th at 6:30PM. This one will be in Spanish. I would like to keep praying for Ana’s health and recovery but also express gratitude for the incredible progress she has made.

We need all of your strength and encouragement to keep fighting the multiple battles we have before us.


Thank you


Victor
