As promised...a quick update

Hi everyone:

I'm running around gathering things for my weekend road trip, and just remembered that I had promised an update before I left. So, here it is:

Kathleen went in for her third round of chemo this morning. Before she received the drugs, her blood counts were taken...and get this: her platelets were up to 58,000 and her hemoglobin was at 9. Although these are still below desired levels, this is the first time she's gone in and not had a substantial decline in her numbers. Let's hope this encouraging trend continues. Kathleen was a happy camper when she called with the results.

Kathleen will likely have a less-than-stellar weekend, because of the chemo, but hopefully these new numbers give her some added energy to fight the good fight.

Love,
Brian
