We just received an update from my father-in-law about the last medical appointment of Joyce. She finished 7 + 2 sessions of chemotherapy and 35 sessions of radiation. The doctors are have decided to give her another 4 sessions of chemo every other week for 2 months.

I just learned today from my father in law that the cancer is NOT on her cheeks. Joyce was not aware of the severity of the condition. There truth was there is an intrusion that happened AFTER the removal of her jaw bones. There is still at tumor there that is still visible even after the radiation. If she was strong enough, she would have a radical surgery to remove the right side of her face from the checks down. I do not think they would even consider that at this point.

A big meetings of the doctors will happen late September. They do not know what to do after the next 4 treatments = 7 + 2+ 4 = 13 total.

As far as the nutrition is concerned, she is doing well and maintaining her weight steadily.

In our heart, we know that we have done everything we could for her.
