As many of you may know-sweet Susan experienced bone pain that was 
determined to be metastatic cancer and over the past month has been on 
medication to control pain while having diagnostics run and therapeutic 
options determined.
She is, as always, upbeat and positive about her future and encourages everyone to keep finding those silver linings!
 The good news, if you can all it that, is that Susan has non small 
cell adenocarcinoma which is the slower growing cancer and can be 
responsive to target cell therapy. She is awaiting the histopathology 
report that looks for the mutant gene to see if they can do targeted 
cell therapy, which she would much prefer. She hopes to get those 
results by the end of this week.
The bad news is that she did find out she has some tiny lesions 
(cancer) in her brain. She started radiation of her head and 
painful spots in St. George Utah on Friday, June 6. The treatments will 
last up for 18 days.
The team she is working with in St. George seem to be great and in 
true Sue style she is already making friends! They know she is "special"
 and look forward to working with her!
Will try to keep this blog updated with new information as we get it.
