Continuation from, My turn to ask for prayer. I didn't know these expire. I just noticed that it's been three months since the last post/reply.

David/Myron, is in a time out so to speak. His body has been so beaten up from chemo the Dr. insists on a rest period.

Sandy and I still alternate taking him for treatment. He's been weak and unable to hydrate or eat properly lately. He even had a collapse in our home and Fire Rescue took him to ER. That was a week ago this past Monday.

He was discharged on Wednesday and saw his PCP on Thursday and the Oncologist on Friday. The Oncologist office gave him 1500ML of hydration. He had the same sort of collapse thing while in the infusion chair. They managed it and that kept him out of the hospital again. The PCP had prescribed Potassium tablets. We made him stay with us over the week end and made sure he had sufficient fluids. The Cancer Center called on Monday morning to see if he needed to come back in for hydration. He's been doing much better and is eating pretty well too.

The best news though, is during the Oncology consultation. We all learned the chemo is working. The metastasized spots on the liver from the original cancer have shrunk considerably. The largest, by 63%.

So for those who remember the original post or who read this one. Please continue to pray, send positive energy or whatever it is you do.
