Simply Love

this past weekend we had a chance to talk to dr. friedman (from Duke) on the phone. he called us. himself.

this is what we know now:
-cody's post-op mri showed that mayo did an amazing job with the surgery. there is no remaining tumor, therefore the clinical trial involving the polio virus is off the table...for now.
-dr. friedman was open to a consultation to see if there are any other trials or options for cody at this point.
-we questioned getting started with chemo. dr. friedman stated that if cody chose to start chemo now then there would be no reason to come see him.
-we have decided to continue moving forward with an appointment through duke.

through our own research, prayerful thoughts, and conversations with each other, this is an opportunity we simply can't pass up. and we both feel really good about this decision.

the video below of dr. friedman helps explain why we feel so strongly about visiting their brain tumor center.
