    Kris, you may forget sometimes but God doesn’t and if he did I am sure Teddy would remind him!

    P.S. Rain already knows how courageous you are what she doesn’t know yet is what a crazy lady you are! LOL Wishing you the very best on Wednesday! Sending you a ton of prayers and love.

    The biopsy is Wed. I have to be there at 8am….. And a poor friend of mine needs to get up and take me! Good to have friends!
    The only thing I am worried about is the biopsy, even tho the drug really isn’t proven. But I’m trying to give it all up to God. (I just forget sometimes!)

    I have been approved for the clinical trial! Biopsy is scheduled for next week and I start the trial the following Monday, the 22nd. I can’t wait to see how well this new drug works!

    WOW, Kris, I can’t wait to hear the rest of this story. Since you are so tired, don’t jump for joy let JOY jump for you!

    Great blood work! WBC and RBC are barely low. Platelets are normal, bilirubin is 0.1 (normal 0-0.4 at FCCC) and the best news!! CA 19-9 levels 48.8 (normal at FCCC 0-37)!!!!!!
    Of course, the nurse says they might be TOO good. If the lymph node doesn’t light up the ct scan I can’t be accepted into the clinical trial. But if the ct scan shows no affected node, then maybe it WASN’T cancer!
    I’m on such a high if I wasn’t so tired I’d be jumping for joy! Now to wait to see the results of the ct scan tomorrow or Wed…… Not gonna stress about it….
