Well, we began the 3rd cycle of chemo infusions today, Tuesday afternoon. Charlie and I met with Dr. Richards and the only thing concerning him was that my hemoglobin was lower than he liked. The chemo is bringing the protien spike down which is what we need to happen in order to harvest my stem cells at Duke. The negative is that the chemo is affecting my hemoglobin which explains why I am so tried!! I have the week off from the "high powered"oral chemo. I have to re-qualify for another round of it which I should begin on Sunday night.
My port site was not healing to satisfy all, so I had to have stiches put in it today by radiology intervention techs. I am to have it checked on Friday after Thanksgiving. But it can be used for this Friday's infusion and next Tuesday's infusion. YEAH!! Please pray that it will heal correctly and without any infection!
Thank you ALL for your continued support and prayers.
Charlie and I and all our family hope you will have a VERY BLESSED THANKSGIVING!!

Father, I lift Fran up to you and ask for quick healing for the port site and for her hemoglobin count to rise. Thank You that she has You to turn to and for the amazing family You have blessed her with. Keep us, her friends, ever mindful of her needs and may our prayers bring comfort and peace through your precious Son in whose name we come on her behalf! Amen.
