Today, January 27, 2010, Jane started Cycle 5 with a combination of the experimental drug and the more traditional chemo. Cycle 5 will last for 21 days. So far, so good. Jane's spirits are up and she is strong. Jane's sister, Annie, who lives in England with her family, will be in Houston over the weekend for a few days to help out.
We want to thank everyone for their cards, flowers and prayers for Jane's father, Harland, who passed away last week. The funeral was in Shreveport on Monday and one family friend remarked "he was a great Southern gentlemen" which is a fitting description.
After Cycle 5, Jane will have Cycle 6 to complete which involves another 21 day time period and then the doctors will perform another CT scan to assess the effectiveness of the treatments. This CT scan will occur around mid-March 2012.
We want to thank everyone for all their continued rosaries, prayers, meals, car pool rides, errands and all the acts of kindness, big and small, to support us through this period.
