Update time

Hi friends, thought it was time I updated you with my clinical trial.  After I received the great results from the CT scan a few weeks ago, I then received my blood results and unfortunately my red blood cells had gone down as had my liver function.  The upshot was that I had to be taken off the trial tablets for a few weeks, with a blood test every week for about 3 weeks.  Thankfully my red blood cells went up pretty quickly, however the liver has taken a while longer to get back to functioning.  Thankfully last week, I was able to resume the trial drug, but at a lower dose...though the doctor reassured me that the drug is quite potent and can have positive results even on a very small dose.  I was so thankful to be able to continue on the trial...and have my next CT scan next Monday and then blood tests on the Wednesday at my next hospital appointment.  I would appreciate your prayers for the CT scan and the next lot of blood tests that my liver is functioning normally.  One other good piece of news is that my cancer count was down to 20!!!!! Which was wonderful news.  Have a great week....I'm in Sydney for a conference for a couple of days...hence the photo of the Harbour Bridge and sunshine!...
