On the rebound

Today I had another Chemo session. During the weigh-in I learned that I have gained about 4 pounds! I owe much of this to the enzyme that I am now taking. Since the stuff that my panreas is making is not entering my gut the enzyme does the work of breaking down the fats in my food. Fat gets an undeserved negative conotation in relation to a healthy diet. You need a certain amount of fat and since my cancer's metabolism has eaten up what I had on reserve the added pounds is a very good sign.
My hemoglobin was also slightly improved at 10.4. The Aranesp injections and the Slow-Fe likewise seem to be working.
I want to thank everyone who has raise up their voice in prayer for me. It is obvious that none of these improvements could have occured without the blessing of our LORD and savior, Jesus Christ. Please continue to bring your requests before the throne of grace with every confidence that He will answer.

Your brother in Christ,
Mack

Dear Mack:
I have been following your blog since last week and I have to say I make it a priority to read it every day along with my e-mail. I was very glad to read that you had a brighter day today. You and your family have been in our prayers since day one. Stay strong.
