Jane completed Cycle 3 of of the combination of the cisplatin and topotecan chemotherapy on Monday July 29th (sorry for the late post) at M D Anderson. The side effects from this cycle were not nearly as bad as from Cycle 1 although Jane is, frankly, still suffering. Jane's spirits and outlook, however, remain bright and positive. As the type, and degree, of the side effects vary from patient to patient just as each cancer is unique to each individual, Jane and her team of doctors are doing a better job of attempting to stay ahead of the potential side effects and managing them via medications. There are many variables that are being addressed and Jane is receiving first rate patient care at MD Anderson. On Friday, August 23rd, Jane will go to M D Anderson to be "restaged" at which time she will undergo a battery of tests to assess the status of the disease and then the doctors will recommend a way forward. We ask that you pray for good results.
Additionally, we sincerely appreciate all the prayers and assistance over the past 21 months during this long journey. We know we are not alone and we have come to rely on your kindness and help.
