Fortunately, the last round, which was likely the last ever, did shrink the tumor on her cervical spine. Even though she will likely never walk, again, she has regained a little movement in her left leg. Fortunately, at this point, her blood work is coming back good so she's starting a new chemo aimed at the lesions on her pelvis and femur. But, she is also someone who will never be cancer free.

I wish there was something to say other than never give up hope. And, do what ever you can to re-boost your immune system. There is a school of thought about keeping your system high in alkaline and low in acid, since tumors cannot thrive in an alkaline environment.
