Mari finally had round ten of chemo today, after waiting around for a while, having tests. Her tests on Tuesday ( after injections) were still too low to have chemo, but fortunately blood tests today showed an increase in levels so chemo went ahead!
We finished in hospital around 6pm due to trouble with veins so it was a long day but we were relieved to get another round over with.
Also found out today, that Mari will now have to have injections before each round of chemo, because her white blood cells do not seem to be regenerating by themselves. She has all the usual drugs, which she can use to control nasty side effects again this time round.
Thanks for your faithful prayers, have a great weekend.
Good night from us xxx

What a day this must have been. May you now all be blessed with a peaceful night and real rest.
Praying that God will do His good work to build up the cells, and make the whole process easier.

Hi Mari,
I am doing a pilgrimage in Spain on the Camino de Frances to Santiago de Compostella. Did 14 miles today so my feet are a bit sore. We have 5 days to do 88 miles but it is good, (I think!)
Sorry to hear your white blood cells are still down and praying that your count will rise, hopefully without the injections.
Love to you all,
Andy
