Update (March 9)

Jane has completed Cycle 6 of the clinical drug trials today, which we started in October 2011.  The test results show that the tumors in the abdomen area appear to be responding to the new drugs as their is a slight reduction in their size and the remaining tumors are stable, that is they are not growing.

As a result, Jane has been cleared for three more cycles of the experimental drug trials which is great, positive news.  Cycles 7, 8 & 9 will each last 21 days and take us to about mid-June 2012.  At that time, Jane will undergo another battery of tests at MD Anderson to measure the effectiveness of the experimental drug protocol.

Jane feels great, with minimal side effects and her energy level is high.

We have many family and friends to thank for helping us so much through this process.  And the prayers, Masses and rosaries and support have been very humbling and very much appreciated.  We know that this will be a long journey and we know we cannot walk it alone.  Thanks to everyone for helping us.
