Well this is a Miracle!

We all know how slow the FDA is. Well this week they actually approved the new immunotherapy drug that is effective on Bruce's type of lung cancer! This approval is at least a year ahead of schedule. We are so excited to hear this great news. The protocol is that if  after 1 round of chemo the cancer is not responding they will give Bruce the new drug. The doctor thinks immunotherapy is the replacement for chemo in the future, that is how promising it is. Jared's home teaching companion is a Lung Cancer Doc in Boise. He said this is the biggest breakthrough in Cancer treatment EVER. Immunotherapy has been shown to be very effective.  Basically what it does is allow your own body to see cancer cells as foreign cells and your own body kills them!
Due to stem cell research there are great strides being made in cancer therapy these days. In the last 3 years treatment has changed dramatically. We are so grateful for those brilliant minds that are learning so much and making these treatments possible. We are especially grateful to the Lord for his hand in all of this!
