"UPDATE ON KRISTINA"


Hello Everyone:

Before Tom dismantles my computer (in the next few minutes!) I wanted to give you an update on Kristina.

Just talked with her and caught up on her treatments.   She finished radiation, for the time being, last week.   Now the Doctors have scheduled her for tests to see how, where the cancer is and how her body has responded.

She sounded weak and tired and her white cell count is very low. (This means she is very susceptible to infection)
Please keep praying for her recovery from the cancer and her reaction to the chemotherapy, which she continues to receive every three weeks.

We agreed it would be best for her NOT to visit us at this time.   I will probably go see her the beginning of April and we will go away somewhere for a few days but still be close enough to get to the hospital if she needs to.

Her spirits are good and she is thankful the radiation is over for the time being.

She is concerned she will have to have a bone marrow test because of the pain she had to endure last time.
I am so grateful she seems to be handling this "challenge" with grace and courage.

Blessings,
Audrey
P.S. my computer is out of commission until Saturday 18th
