This past week has been very busy for us. Jane is pretty weak and her walking is very limited. Thanks to all of you who are helping us with the wheel chair ramp. This week it became a necessity. As far as treatment, Jane says she will do whatever I want and she wants to live for me, our kids, our grandkids and for all of you who are pulling for her.
We have decided to go forward with the chemo treatment at the Immune Recovery Clinic (IRC). We met with Dr. Jenkins at Piedmont Hospital this week and came away feeling a little down because he could not offer any hope. Dr. Jenkings offered to do chemo if we wanted. He would not agree to do the protocol recommended by Dr. McKee.
The IRC will do low dose chemo and follow the protocol prescribed by Dr. McKee. I do not believe that Jane is strong enough to withstand any regular dose chemo. The manner in which the low dose is delivered theoretically puts more chemo into the cancer cells than does a regular dose the traditional way. The clinic is attempting to build her immune system and will continue that along with the chemo. The low dose will not be as rough to take. Jane is getting cesium treatment, intravenous Vitamin C, colloidal Silver, transfer factor and a couple of other things.
Please pray that we are recognizing what God would have us do. Jane needs strength, an appetite (she is not eating enough) and a lot of reassurance.
Thanks to all of you and may God give each of us a large dose of His grace as we approach Easter week.
Dave and Jane

There is nothing left to do but pray for God's will. We are praying that for Jane. I hope that she will gain some strength this week and start improving! Love, Susan & Glenn
