The short answer is no. Most likely my body will wear out before we can exhaust all the various treatment options which continue to multiply. The doctors cannot predict how my body and my specific type of cancer will respond to treatment now or in the future. I am thankful for God giving me a wonderful medical team through the University of Virginia and the Mayo Clinic. But even with brilliant doctors who care for me well, my life is in God’s hands. He determined the number of my days before I was ever born. So I must rest in His sovereign purpose for how and when my cancer responds to treatment.
