Thank you all for praying me through my first round of IL-2 treatment. It was a wild ride but I survived! PET scans done recently were sort of vaguely "ok" but really didn't show a lot of information yet about how well IL-2 is or is not working. At least, it showed no growth of my various small tumors since January. So, that's a good thing, right?
Round 2 begins soon. If you would like more detailed prayer requests please contact me or my daughter Kristen, and we will add you to the email list for those updates. We are not posting exact treatment schedule on public blog / Facebook.
Thank you SO MUCH to all the friends and family who have been caring for us sacrificially, with meals and taxiing my children all over the county! We practically needed a spreadsheet to keep track of it all. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
A very big thank you to my wonderful parents, who have faithfully prayed for me and helped our family in so many ways. They have given of their time and placed much of their regular lives on hold to keep things running smoothly when I am in the hospital, allowing Charles to be with me often to support and encourage me. This time around Charles needs to be at work more and so several friends are taking turns being with me in the hospital when he cannot be there. We are also so very thankful for the provision of the funds to keep our medical insurance - without which I would not be able to have this expensive, intense treatment.
I am blessed, and well cared for.
Thankfully,
Karen
