Update on my mom

Talked with my mom last night, and things to pray for are a PET scan this Tuesday, and a subsequent meeting with the oncologist next week. Praise; a test came back negative for a condition that would have disallowed the use of a promising new anticancer drug named "Erbitux."

(Thankfully, the government's initial mistake with IMClone and subsequent persecution of Martha Stewart didn't kill off this drug altogether--though they did come close. Thankfully, Eli Lilly bought what remained and helped convince the FDA of their mistake.)
