Well, today did not go as hoped - an unfortunate side effect of cancer. The news from the tests was disappointing. This chemo has not been working, and some growth has occurred in existing tumors. There was fear that the cancer may have metastasized into the bone (hence the fracture), but the bone scan was inconclusive - it does not appear that the cancer has spread there, but more tests will be done to double check.
On the positive side, there are three or four options to consider. Kathie is going to have some genetic testing to see if her body will be able to utilize some of the options and then Bob and she will discuss the options with the doctor at Wake Forest next week.
Sorry this is being posted so late, Lauren had class this afternoon when she found out about the results and then drove to Lafayette and went straight to Jeannie's wake.

We think of Kathie and family every day and keep you all in our prayers at night. We will continue with positive thoughts for her! May our Heavenly Father, physician of our souls and bodies, grant you the gift of complete health.
Love,
Jen and Chris Cochran
