Mari had blood tests today (routine). However, the results showed that her white blood cells are too low to have chemo as planned tomorrow. Therefore she will have to go in to hospital today and tomorrow for injections which will hopefully boost her white blood cells. If this all works, then she will be having chemo on Thursday now instead!
It seems that her white blood cells are generally not bouncing back after treatment so if you could pray that this changes, we would be most grateful. Dr's say they do not know the long term effects of using this injection, so they only pull it out if they absolutely have to!
We will let you know how things go. Mari is a bit disheartened by this news. She is due her tenth round of chemo and is scheduled to have 16 rounds in total. Though the chemo is unpleasant, she is keen to get it over with a.s.a.p.
With Thanks.

Dear Mari,
Standing with you and praying for you. Yes, this is disheartening news but Jesus is with you!
Love,
Debbie and Johan
Hi Mari,
Will be praying too!
Just reading the book that everyone seems to be reading at the moment called "The Shack" - you probably have heard of it too. It is really beautiful, encouraging, inspiring and uplifting book of God's love and constant presence in our lives. It may be a good read if you have the energy and inclination. Otherwise we stand in the gap for you! I hope you feel all the love that is obviously felt for you and His presence too.
Love Kate

Hi there - I do hope that you are able to have the chemo tomorrow. Praying that your cell count will be high enough... but, even more than that, that you will have a sense of jesus walking with you through it all.
