Dear friends, Elaine suffered a bad day yesterday. It was the double dose day, Gemzar and Carboplatin. Elaine successfully endured 6 cycles of Carboplatin last year but sometimes the body rejects it after 6 or 7 treatments. That's what happened to Elaine yesterday. She came through the first hour of Gemzar successfully then just 5 minutes after starting the Carboplatin she had a severe alergic reaction. This can be quite scary and very uncomfortable. What it means is she won't be able to do carboplatin again, they will probably try a different one instead. We also have a new development which we do not have all the information for yet. Her liver biopsy has yielded some results which may indicate that the cancer in her liver is a a different kind of cancer and not the Ovarian that we thought had spread to the liver, we are awaiting confirmation and what it means, so i'll keep you posted as appropriate. These are very trying times to say the least.
Thank you Art and Sylvia for driving all the way from Vacaville to bring us dinner last night and spend time with us, Lainey wasn't well enough to receive you but she loves you dearly, you are truly friends born for when there is distress and we will never forget your love that you showed for us.
Thank you to Renee, Christina, and Danielle, your ongoing support is invaluable.
Thank you Betty Runnels for cheering my up and giving her hope, we love you all.
Friends, there is only one way to live, serve the God of tender mercies, and love your neighbor, if we can just do this, love kindness, exercise justice and be modest in walking with our God, he will reward us with eternal peace and happiness in his paradise new earth, don't ever give up doing what is fine, we will reap if we do not tire out, love Keith and the beautiful Lainey.
