Date for Treatment to Begin

Hi All,

I was at SCCA all day on Monday having tests done. It was a very long day. I sure wasn’t feeling well after all the stuff I had to drink and the stuff they put in me through an IV. I slept until noon the next day. I’m feeling better now.

I got a call from Dr. Thompson’s office yesterday and I will start the new treatment on Wednesday, July 2nd. I will start the day at 8:30 AM with a blood draw. At 9:30 I will see Dr. Thompson and at 11:00 I will start the infusion. I will receive one 90-minute infusion every 3-weeks for 24-weeks. If I respond well to the treatment I will then go into a Maintenance Phase where I will see my doctor ever 6-weeks for 24-weeks. At 24-weeks I will receive one 90-minute infusion and then every 12-weeks after that.

At any time the treatment can be stopped if there is no sign of the tumors shrinking or I am still getting more tumors. This means the treatment is not helping and there is no reason to continue it.

Please pray for wisdom of the doctor and that the treatment will do what it is supposed to do.

God’s timing is perfect timing. I know that I am in His hands and that His “grace is sufficient for me, for power is perfected in weakness”.

Love you all,
Karen
