kimblanchard Posted August 17, 2003 Share Posted August 17, 2003 Hi friends, Well tomorrow is the CT scan to determine if the clinical trial is working. If I could ask for a special prayer for my Bill that finally something is having an effect - this is the third attempt with no success yet. If the scan shows this treatment is working I will take him back to IU Med Ctr. for round #3 this Friday for an overnight hospital stay. The last round of chemo did him in for nearly 2 weeks. For 9 days he ate no solid food - just Ensure. Now thankfully he is starting to eat again - just a little - solid nutritional food. I start back teaching this week and Bill's mother from Florida is coming on Tuesday to stay with us and help out. Bless her heart - she is nearly 80 with a heart condition but seems to have it under control. She insisted on coming and Bill seems glad she is going to be here. Thanks so much for all of you on this board. There have been so many tough times for all of us lately............things just have to improve. Blessings to you all, Peg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
