On A Bad Roll

Well the last days have been pretty bad. Not sure what concoction the Dr. brewed up for Harriet, but it is really doing a trip on her, No sleep and all the side effects I have mentioned in the past. We keep waiting for the negative side effects to subside. Long wait when these negative side effects are going on  7/24.

I thought I would give you some more info. The audience for this blog is listed below. My cousin and their adult children live in Belgium. They are very special friends. We are very blessed to have so many great lovely friends.

Not So Good (150th Post)

Yesterday was a bad day. They are fewer than before, but they are reminder that "All is not well in Mudville."  I'm hoping that today will go better.  Harriet is dealing with medication problems.  When you take some of these medications for long period of time, your body gets used to it and it rebels when you start to decrease dosage.

Please continue to pray for Harriet's healing.

Boy Am I in Trouble!

Sorry, I got to working on different things and I forgot to do the blog this morning.  Harriet is still recovering from her chemotherapy, but overall she's doing good.  We are thankful for any progress and Lord willing we will get through all this.

Thank you so much for your prayers and loving support!

Slow Recovery

This last chemotherapy was probably a higher dosage.  So the recovery time is more difficult and going slow.  Overall I can see that we are making progress from compared to where we were a month ago.  We always need to look forward and not back.  When we do look back we are thankful that things are going better than they were previously.

Today is Wednesday which means that Harriet will have her predisone today, Thursday and Friday and then she's done with that.  Onward and upward.  I'm looking forward to a month from now when Harriet is completed her eight courses of chemotherapy and is on the road to recovery from the devastation that this "Cure" is caused.

The Day after the Seventh Chemotherapy

Yesterday was a long day.  Harriet went in for her 10:30 AM appointment and she didn't get taken into start the chemotherapy until an hour later.  It's hard to sit there and wait.

I don't know if this is true or not, but I think they might've amped up the concoction that they pump into her.  She said that she could tell that it was more intense.  The way I figure is that they have these last two chemotherapies to get rid of the cancer.  So they're going to bring in the "big guns" so to speak.

We really appreciate your faithfulness and praying for her.  I will keep you updated.  Harriet starts her prednisone treatments this morning and they will go through Friday night.

Seventh Chemotherapy Today

Harriet had her blood test done yesterday.  Yesterday morning was not a good day and then as the day progressed she was doing better and better.  I don't know if it's all these shots that she was getting or what?  Unfortunately we have not received the test results from the blood test that was taken yesterday.  Actually received the results from some of the test but not the key ones which tell us the white blood cell count.  Hopefully with all the shots that she's received, she's going to be able to have her chemotherapy today.

I will let you know tomorrow how it went.  Ron in Virginia are picking up Harriet this morning at 10 AM and taking her down to Kaiser.  I will pick her up sometime around 3:30 PM give or take.

I really appreciate your prayers for her healing and that this cancer would be completely gone after the eight treatments.

Thank you, Maranatha,
Frank and Harriet

Blood Test Today

Harriet gets her blood test in preparation for her chemotherapy for tomorrow morning. With all the shots that she's been getting the white blood cell count should be good.

Yesterday was pretty good. I guess it's all relative. She still has side effects from taking the medications, but overall she's doing much better than she was a month ago and we are thankful.

Thank you so much for your prayers and loving support.
