Angela will continue treatment through January 18th with one day a week of chemo (usually Monday) and radiation 5 days a week.
Next week - Christmas week - she will NOT have chemo as this is a week off and she will NOT have radation on Christmas day.
After the 18th, the doctors will complete more scans to see what the status of the tumors is...we are of course looking for major shrinkage! The status of the scans will determine next steps for treatment.
A lung scan that was taken in the ER last week when Angie experienced a collapsed lung showed that the tumor in her lung is shrinking - responding positively to the radation and chemo.

Rick, Angie, Maddie and Jacob,
I am praying for you all every day. Angie, I added you to the OSLC prayer chain yesterday. I have also asked all of my friends and family to also pray for you. You are in many prayers. Those that you know and those that you may not know. I don't know you personally, but I am one of Maddie's CFJ shepards. Keep smiling!

Hey Ang!
Hang in there! I know this treatment schedule has got to be tough, but hopefully you will get some positive news after the next scan. Sarah and I are trying to coordinate a trip out there for sometime around 1/10, we'll call when we have details.
