Decisions, decisions, decisions.....

Finishing college, building a career, looking forward to making a life and future with the one that you love. These are the decisions that a 24-year old should be making, not "the best course of treatment to put my cancer into remission" dilemma. Yet this unfortunately, is the weight that has been placed upon Jessica's already burdened shoulders when we met with Dr. Pohlman at the Cleveland Clinic yesterday.

There are a few encouraging options to be looked at, including a Study that will be opening up at the Clinic in May. We are awaiting more information on this Study before a final decision is made. Dr. Pohlman feels that there is no "extreme" rush for treatment, so a few weeks wait for the Trial is not out of the question.

Regardless of Jessica's choice, I am sure that she knows that we are all "in her corner" with our prayers and support for whatever decision she makes. She is, by far, the strongest young woman that I have ever had the honor of knowing and I am extremely proud to be her mom and to be a part of her life. She has, once again, shown more strength and fortitude than many people twice her age. You go Girl!! I love you.
