Kathleen called this morning and had the result of the blood test. It was great ! Her count was below 500 and that is very good. The immune system has kicked in and is working and with most certainty will remain working. She doesn’t need any more treatments in Germany or injections. As you can imagine, she and Howard were ecstatic with happiness. Now they can go on to Italy and really relax and have a great vacation.There are still signs of the cyst on the remaining ovary and she has some fluid in her abdomen so the Dr. suggested that when she returns to Ca. to take a very low dosage of the chemo pill. It shouldn’t leave any side effects as it will be a very low dosage, and periodically have an MRI.

The lady she met from Carmel and who was going thru the same treatments at the same time as Kathleen was there also with her husband . She was also given very positive news. Her count was not as low as Kathleen’s but she has been battling cancer for 10 years and it was much more serious. Her immune system is staying up also so she was extremely happy and relieved.

I can’t thank all of you enough, no words can express my gratitude for all of your support and concern over the past 2 1/2 years, and most importantly, all the wonderful prayers for Kathleen’s cure. She has been so fortunate to have so many wonderful friends and family praying for her and pulling for her. I feel God’s got something special in mind for her to achieve here.

Thank you so very much,

Diane
