Friends and family

Next to death itself, the news around Anettes' fight with Cancer could not be worse then the information that has developed today. Last week Anette had a CT scan and the results are devastating. Whereas the Cancer in her Colon and Liver remain stable, the Tumor in her pelvic area has increased in mass by 20% since her last CT scan of only three short months ago. As a result we were informed today that she is no longer qualified to continue treatment at the University of Chapel hill in North Carolina. Treatment will be discontinued immediately.


For those of you who do not already know, Anette has gone through all FDA approved treatments for Colon Cancer and they are no longer affective on her so she opted in on a new stage one research study at UNC.

In short, our next step is unknown. She continues to be committed to fight for her life and wants to keep looking for another treatment program even if not for herself, then to help all of us to possibly forgo tasting from this bitter cup of wine. If there is anything out there that may constitute a chance (regardless how slim or unknown it may be) I will continue to support her wishes no matter where we have to go or what I have to do to get her there..... "PUT IT IN YOUR BOOK" ! In the mean time please don't forget about her or give up on her. That means stay diligent with your prayers and for all of my "non-believing" friends keep sending those positive thoughts because we are in this fight until there is no life to fight for.

Your friend,

Ben
