We received Samantha's MRI results from Houston this week and they are saying that they consider them to be stable. She has had 10% growth in one area but has had "significant decrease in the intensity of enhancement" (which means less active Cells). We will be repeating her MRI in about 4 weeks as we work to get her to her maximum dose of antineoplastons. They are increasing her dose more rapidly and hope to see a decrease again in enhancement but in size as well.
Samantha is still recovering from last weeks surgeries but seems to be getting a little better everyday. She is so strong she amazes us so much.
Please continue to pray for her and all the others fighting this terrible disease more specifically our little friend Colby Steigerwald. We met the Steigerwald's at St. Jude and they are very special people to us. Colby, who is only 5 years old, has had a significant increase in his tumor and needs extra prayers sent his way.
Thank you once again for all your love, support, and prayers.
With love and hope,
Audra, Kurt, Christopher, Samantha, and Jason
