We talked to one of the Oncologists at Baptist Hospital yesterday afternoon

We talked to one of the Oncologists at Baptist Hospital yesterday afternoon. He had talked to a physician who used to be at St. Jude's Hospital in Memphis, TN who is a liver cancer specialist. She, as well as other physicians, recommended a different drug combination that has shown some response in the type of tumors that she has. As with the other chemo drugs that she has taken, this combination also has a variable response to shrinking and killing tumors. She will go into the hospital this coming Tuesday for at least 3 days. One of these drugs she has had before; cisplatin. The doctor said that this drug combination probably won't make her quite as sick as the previous chemo drugs. And, it should not affect her drug counts as much as the previous chemo drugs did either. Therefore, she may not have to have as many hospital admissions due to high fevers and low white blood cell and low platelet (blood clotting) counts. That is good news.

Please continue to keep her and the family in prayer. This is a very difficult time emotionally for us. Once a cancer comes back, it is never a very promising thing. Pray for her healing and strength, for our wisdom and strength, and for the physician's wisdom. God is able to heal her and we want Him to have all of the glory, honor and praise.
