A note of encouragement/update on Rachel from my Mom

Rachel is home!!!!

Rachel came home yesterday. We are thrilled. She still is VERY uncomfortable, but is ready to start the food regime again. Though she is emotionally down because of the colostomy bag, it is reversable. Through all this, however, we had a new MRI done and learned that the cancer in her ribs is either completely dead or dying. That is such wonderful news, since they had told her that the ribs would start cracking with the growth of the cancer and she would be in great pain. There is also a chance that the blocked colon was due, not to the growth of the cancer (which the doctors assume) but to stools blocking her colon. The doctors all agree that they really cannot tell what happened. We hope for the best case scenerio.
