Last Week of Prednisone

Harriet was able to have her eighth (and last) chemotherapy yesterday.  I picked her up at about 1:15 PM.  It seems that the last two times that she's had her chemotherapy that her body is reached a saturation point.  I wanted to make sure that I was there to help her make it out without either bumping into something or falling over.  Her hands in her feet were very numb from this medication.

Now she will take prednisone for the next four days.  I keep thinking that the healing will start after this week.  Lord willing no more shots and no more chemotherapy.  It will take a while for all the drugs to leave her system.  They want you to wait 6 to 8 weeks before they do a PET scan due to potential false positives or false negatives.  Obviously they think that it takes that amount of time for the medication to leave your body.

That's where we are and again I appreciate your continued prayerful support and encouraging words.

Maranatha,
Frank and Harriet
