As Yvette starts her 4th year of this battle, there is some renewed hope. A recent trip to Boston to meet with top experts in the field led to a new aggressive treatment strategy.
The specialist that she met with concluded "while chemo has given her some success, she has some chemo resistant cells that continue to metastasize."
They have found a new brain tumor that she is going to treat first with full brain radiation and chemo injections into her spine. Once they get that tumor taken care of, she can do an experimental treatment of receiving very high doses of chemo with stem cell transplant support. This treatment has had some documented success.
Through it all she has maintained a positive spirit and energy that has humbled us all. I believe that she would say that she has also been humbled by the amount of love, support and prayers from all of you.
