Raven I for one have found a greater belief in the power of God because of you. I don't think until you get to heaven you will ever know how many lives you have touched. I want to share this with you,(not my own words, but very powerful)
What God knows about me is more important than what others think about me.
Love you and wishing you and John a blessed Christmas.

Raven,

I came here to pass on information on a news story that made me think of you but when I saw this post, I feel compelled to respond to it first.

Your story has made a positive difference in the lives of others. It has provided helpful information on a cancer many have never heard of. Your ability to share whatever you are going through provides a real and honest look at the struggle and displays the strength and perseverance required in fighting cancer for those who have never faced it. Thank you for sharing your story.

Now back to the story I saw. There was a story on CBS This Morning that I saw which made me think of you. I want to bring to your attention. I do not know if it will be of value or use to you but I wanted to make sure you were aware of it. The story revolved around a woman with stage 4 colon cancer that was about to begin a personalized treatment created by Eric Schadt and his team at the Institute of Genomics and Multiscale Biology at Mt. Sinai in New York. They recreated the exact cancer in fruit flies and used a super computer along with the patient's genetic and biological data to test all know drug therapies against it and then created a personalized genetic cocktail to target the specific cancer. Mr. Schadt noted that they had much more data on the specific cancer than doctors typically have access to as they can determine the specific gene it came from as well as the pathways and biological processes it disrupted. I realize it may or may not be useful or applicable to you but thought it was worth mentioning. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers and how thankful so many of us are that you do tell it like it is.

Best,

Jennifer
