Ed came through chemo treatment no. 4 very well. Here are a few hi-lights:
*Ed gained five more pounds. He is now 190+ pounds.
*The blood work done yesterday revealed his blood is too thick. They upped his coumadin levels from 5mg to 7.5 mg per day.
*Chemo itself was relatively uneventful.
*Ed's State Cancer Aid expired 6/30/2009. It is time to re-apply for 7/1/2009 - 6/30/2010, but the renewal forms are proving to be elusive. Must call the State Aid office tomorrow to see if they mail out forms.
Only two more chemo treatments to go and then an MRI of the brain will b
e done to check the progress.
Other friends/acquaintances who need prayers from Prayer Angels (that's you reader!) for their cancer:
- Linda (sister of my friend Nancy, Linda has been fighting bone cancer for 10 years, faces the decision whether or not to start new, highly aggressive chemo that can harm her heart)
- Mrs. Hutchins (mother of my friend Dianne, 'Mama' has recurring breast cancer and is suffering from side effects of recent radiation - lymphodema)
- Name unknown - (daughter of Ed's friend John Henry, unknown type of recurring cancer)
