8/28/07 CTRC Meeting

We met with CTRC at 12:30pm on 8/28, to see what their assessment is of mom. CTRC is a cancer treatment center in San Antonio that has earned a strong reputation in the city. The facilities were very nice and everyone was professional.

We met with Dr. Kish, who specializes in chemotherapy treatments and handles bladder cancer cases, which is what mom's cancer falls under. The examination took about 45 minutes with the doctor. She conducted a physical examination. She concluded by stating that, if mom could get stronger, she would be an ideal candidate for chemo. The Dr. noted that mom needs to eat and drink more, get calories and protein in, and do some exercising in order to be ready for the treatment. She also felt additional tests and scans were in order to see how she was after the surgery. So the response from CTRC is not to give up, but that mom needs to get stronger before any treatment can occur.

Afterwards, dad, mom, Suzy and I went to two stores. Dad and I went to the grocery store to purchase Boost (this stuff is apparently the physician's favorite for getting people their nutrients). While we were there, out of the clear blue, a short-statured man walked up to me while I was on the phone with Dawn, and handed me a note. This is what was written on the note:


This man worked at the grocery store. He said God told him to give me this note - that he would get in trouble with God if he didn't, and that he hoped it would not offend. He then told me of two miracle stories where people were healed and then went back into the aisles to work. I looked for him later but I never found him. Dad was there too and the man's nametag said "Ed." I had said nothing to anyone in the store about mom - we just went in to get Boost and a laxative.

Do you think it was coincidence...?
