April 7th- Next round of Chemo

We did not get the results back on the bone marrow biopsy today. His white cell count is not good, way too high, so we are not anticipating an encouraging number on blasts in his bone marrow.
Bill's liver enzymes and bilirubin counts are continuing to improve, and he is not in any pain. The doctors decided to proceed with the chemo treatment as planned. That started at 6pm this evening and it will be given one hour a day for 5 days.
Bill is communicating again, now that he is not on vicodin. He is not eating, so we will work on that.
Please pray for him as we enter this new round of chemo. He is getting tired.

I know he just wants to feel more like Bill, and hopefully that will come shortly. Let's hope this round can give him the PUSH he needs - we are still PUSHing at this end!
Glad the liver numbers are moving in the right direction - let's hope everything else follows.

Love, prayers, and good health,
Gail

Thinking of you and praying often,

Bill and Nancy,

It's been such a struggle, but look at how far you've come! No wonder you feel tired. I hope you catch your second (third? fourth?) wind soon! Hang in there, one day at a time. You've proved to all of us that if anyone can do it, you can.

Love,
Janet and John
