We got the call this week from the Burzynski Clinic and not surprising~the results were seen the same way.  I was SOOOOOOOOOOO nervous when Sam was on the phone that somehow we would hear that the initial clean reading had been off.  It was another wave of relief when I realized that all was still well in the brain! 

I am writing to share my most recent update:  Currently, I am unable to move forward with the antineoplaston treatment with Burzynski.  In order to even be admitted to the clinical trial~there has to be a visible tumor to treat. I am feeling incredibly Blessed to have this time to continue to self-heal and work with other protocols in order to manage this situation. I hope that I can continue to heal and never will need any antineoplaston treatment~although, Burzynski would be my absolute first choice should something shift.  I realize I am dealing with a very aggressive type of tumor and  it gives me great relief to know that  this fund is here providing security as I go about my days and live life.  Thank You. Thank You. Thank You.  May each of your prayers and kind thoughts be returned to you and Bless You Endlessly.  My Love goes out to You...

Preparing for Surgery

February 22, 2012

Hi Everyone,

This is a message directly from Jessica. 

Sam has to type for me because I am lying in a hospital bed at Johns Hopkins Medical Center preparing for my operation this afternoon starting around 12-1pm. The procedure will last around 4 hours.

Two weeks of intense non-stop cluster headaches landed me in the ER at AAMC where we discovered that I have a large tumor in my right frontal lobe.

I feel blessed to have a world renowned brain surgeon, Dr. Jon Weingart, helping me go through this experience. It's amazing that I live so close to the #1 neurosurgical facility in the county.

I'm emailing you this because I would be so grateful to have your healing prayers and positive thoughts in my corner as I go through this unique journey and recovery.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, your love and support means the world to me.

Love,

Jessica

Post-Op Update

February 24, 2012

Hello All,

Today showed great progress once again as Jessica was able to get up and go down to Physical Therapy where she did leg exercises, took a walk, went up and down a flight of 12 stairs & then rode on a resistance machine for about 12 minutes. She has been cleared to eat and has had broth, avocado & some probiotics. The final piece of news for tonight.....

We are going home TOMORROW!!

Pray for a good nights rest for both of us and that every day moving forward will continue to build towards full recovery and her return to optimum health.....

May all of your beautiful prayers come back to bless you as powerfully as they have been blessing us through this experience....

All our love,

Sam & Jess
