We met with my oncologist this morning and neither he nor the radiologist think that the Lutathera treatment is working in the way they had hoped.
I will start chemotherapy this Friday.
Thank you for your continued prayers as I hold on to a verse I consider my life verse:
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will make your paths straight.” (Proverbs 3:5-6)
Hanging in there,
