Jane completed the second round of chemotherapy on Friday, December 2nd at MD Anderson which included a new experimental drug called ABT 348 in addition to the standard protocol. ABT 348 comes in the form of a 50 mg pill and the theory behind ABT 348 is for it to, among other things, disrupt the cancer cells' growth cycle. The side effects were kinda rough on Jane, but she pulled through towards the end of the week.
On Friday December 9th, Jane had the second dosage of only the ABT 348 pill. The doctors are monitoring Jane's white blood cell count so she will need to stay away from crowds, pets (Sparkie, the Abear's cat, is kinda sad nowadays) and folks with sniffles, colds, etc.
Jane continues to appreciate the many prayers and thoughts from all of you.
The Mahans have you and your family in our prayers.
