New Update from Pete

On 28 December Barb had her 4th chemo treatment. On that day she also received a shot that was to work in her bones to promote white blood cell development. Her white count was 1100 and they would like for it to be 2500 - 3000. We wont know until 19 Jan what the results are. They told us this could cause extreme pain the back but fortunately no severe pain just some discomfort in her legs.

We thought we were going to get through the period w/o negative results from the chemo, and she did, until Sat. the 9th she totally lost all energy and ran a slight temperature, she was in bed for 24 plus hours. There was some improvement on Sunday and she seems to be over the bump for now. We are so very thankful there was no more pain than she had and the duration was short. Thank you for your prayers and your caring. B & P
