yes, still today

According to the doctors this tumor has more preferred ways of treatment. But when those ways are used, over and over, and it still recurs, then other ways of treatment need to be tried. That's how chemotherapy was used on Marie. Not a more preferred way of treatment for this type of tumor, but the option of surgery and radiation have appeared to run out. The chemotherapy has has some positive results and then the tumor reverses itself and starts to grow again. My hope is that the doctors will get the right kind or combination of chemotherapeutic drugs to finally stop this tumor. It's like they're so close, getting some positive reactions, and then just miss.
