Feeling better and climbing numbers

The good news today is that Trish sounds and feels good today, despite also feeling weak and tired. The bad news is that her liver function continues to go in the wrong direction (up), as does her weight (down).

Dr. Meade is not worried yet, just carefully concerned. The cytoxan therapy takes time to work, her counts have to be reduced and come back. In fact the study calls for Trish to be re-evaluated at day 28 (which is September 26, I believe).

Dr. Meade says that if they don't see her liver numbers go down, by the start of next week, they will agressively begin a new therapy and not wait for Day 28. Folks, it's time for some serious praying. Let's pray those liver function numbers down.

Thanks to everyone for responding to my request for good cheer. Trish is smiling a lot more easier despite the conditions, please keep up these efforts too. Don't be afraid to call her and chat about anything, she just needs to hear from friends and family and remember what she is fighting for. Take good care of yourselves and thanks for everything.
