UPDATE on EMBERLY From Trishonna
Dear Friends and Family
It's been a few months since the last update has been shared about Emberly. We're glad to report she has been improving every day since her surgery last summer in late June. Thank you for all your prayers for our family during this very long and difficult journey for Emberly and the rest of us.
Since Emberly has been home from surgery she's been able to quit taking the dreaded steroid medication. She had been on it since the spring to help offset the edema and swelling around her brain, but it also caused her to gain a lot of weight and have other undesirable side effects. During this time our mom also has been an ever present care giver and working to integrate alternative treatments into her schedule and keep her on track with the doctor's orders.
Over the summer her Doctors advised (and insisted) that she go on a round of chemo and radiation. With 99% or more of the tumor now removed from the surgery she would respond more favorably to this treatment designed to target any residual cancer cells in the hopes to keep them from replicating and causing the tumor to come back. After prayer and family discussion Emberly began a month long schedule of chemo and radiation therapy. She successfully finished around the end of September.
That brings us to the current update. This last week Emberly was taken to Santa Monica for an MRI and follow up visit with her medical team to see how things were going. The MRI was inconclusive. They noticed some minor areas that could be recurring cancer or could also be scar tissue from the recent radiation treatments. But Emberly is feeling wonderful, losing the weight she had gained and even working on getting her driver's license reinstated. Her doctors were so enthusiastic about how good she looked and how alert and sharp she was with her mind. Everyone enjoyed her sense of humor as well.
It's now been 17 months since Emberly was first diagnosed with Glioblastoma Multiform (GBM) and many patients do not live much past this point. However the doctors were confident that she has a bright future and feel she might easily double the 17 months or more with her current progress. They were very careful not to offer any time predictions, but did mention that there are patients who have survived GBM for 10-15 years... and counting.
So going forward Emberly will be on a limited chemo schedule of 5 days on and 23 days off for the next year with MRIs taken every two months. Of course we'll continue to integrate natural remedies into her schedule as we have been. We are so thankful that Emberly has made such a remarkable comeback from some very scary near death moments these past few months. Please continue to lift her and the rest of our family in prayer. We cherish each moment we have with Emberly as you can imagine. In spite of all that has happened the fact she is still alive and doing so well IS a true miracle and answer to prayer for which we thank our Heavenly Father each day.
This Video Emberly sent me from the Cafe in San Monica after her early morning follow up visit with the Doctor. They were hungry as they missed breakfast to make it to her appointment. It was 11:30 am finally getting to eat.

I did a little searching online, and I would have some definite questions before trying that route. There are those who claim it isn't what it claims to be.

Daryl Fawcett:
There are always those who make such claims against those type of things, but then what about all the claims against using chemo-radiation treatments?

Watch the whole video, as I did, and then tell me/us again what you think.
