Tisha’s doctor consulted with MD Andersen and they recommended an oral chemo treatment. They doctor said she has treated several women with metastatic spots on the liver and they have responded very well to this drug. Metisha would take several pills in the morning and the evening for 14 days, then take a break and then start again for 14 days. It has side effects similar to chemo (can make you sick and can cause hair loss) but they are generally less than chemo. This drug is very expensive at over $2,000 per month so a HUGE prayer request is that the drug will be covered by Metisha’s insurance. Please pray diligently for this. This therapy would be easier on Metisha than chemo, gives her a better chance of not losing her hair again and may be more effective.
So now we are prayerfully waiting for oncology to check on insurance coverage.
