I am home again and my drain has been removed! I know that so many prayers have been lifted up for me for this reason and now we can rejoice together and thank God through our Savior Jesus Christ that He has placed His healing hand upon me and granted me this relief. Amen
While in the Hospital I was given two units of whole blood. The Chemo had knocked my hemoglobin down to 8.5 (Normal is around 12 to 15). I feel MUCH better now! I also was able to have a Chemo session while in the Hospital so I am still on schedule for this seven part treatment. Next Tuesday I go for the last of the seven treatments, take a week off, then resume with three more treatments. The week off is to give my body a break and regain the blood components damaged by the Chemo drug. Practically every valuable measurement of your blood is damaged by the Gemzar; hemoglobin, White blood count, platelets, etc. Since I just received two units of blood I will probably be in really good shape after my week off, comparably.
I also want to thank those that have given fiancially to help me and my family. I wish that I could meet each of you and thank you face-to-face as many of you that gave a gift I have never had the pleasure of knowing. Today I know of you not so much for your gifts, but for the loving kindness with which it was given. God bless each of you! You have my thanks and that of my family.
I feel that I have turned a corner in my cancer treatment now that the drainage has stopped and the drain that had so changed my life has been removed. I don't know what is ahead of me, other than the sureness that I go ahead with your prayers and in the grace of our LORD. Therefore, I go ahead bravely.
Your brother in Christ,
Mack
