Jane had one more dosage of the experimental drug between Christmas Day and New Year's Eve. Since then, she has been continuing to recover from the side effects and regain her energy level and strength. Her white blood cell count had dipped below acceptable levels so she was given medicine to recharge her immune system which was successful. It was sort of a roller coaster holiday season, but she is doing much, much better.
Jane's next big threshold date is Monday, January 9th, at which time Jane will undergo a battery of tests at M.D. Anderson including X-rays, CT scans, etc. to measure the effectiveness of Jane's treatment thus far. On Tuesday, January 10th, the doctors will review the test results with Jane, and, depending on the results, will make recommendations on the path forward.
We are very grateful and thankful for the outpouring of prayers and support. Viva Jane!
Ephesians 3:20 "Now glory be to God! By His mighty power at work within us, He is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope."
ReplyDeleteJane, you are in our prayers.
