Jane started Cycle 17 today, October 5th, at MD Anderson with the combination of the experimental drug and the traditional chemotherapy. Jane's veins are worn out from all the blood draws, IVs, etc. over the past year. To help Jane to continue to handle further treatments, the doctors installed a "medi-port" earlier this week. The new "medi-port" worked great during Cycle 17. Going forward, the doctors plan to have another round of chemo on October 26th (Cycle 18) and then perform another round of diagnostic tests on Nov. 15th. The doctors will then plot a path forward depending on the outcome of the test results.
Jane's spirits are very positive as she takes great comfort from all the prayers, rosaries, Masses and support from the wonderful family and friends. A group gets together every Monday night at 8 pm at the St. Vincent DePaul Catholic Church Adoration Chapel to pray the rosary for Jane. Thanks so much to everyone for their continued outpouring of assistance, support and love during this time.
My name is Bożena. I don’t know Jane personally but only from Father Witold’s story. In spite of this, she became especially close to me.
ReplyDeleteFor this reason we assure you about our prayers for Jane and her family.
Every night, me together with my daughters and husband Damian, we will ask God in this intention.
Kind regards from Gliwice (Poland)
