We just got back from the Dr. appt and the biopsy from last week shows the leukemia to be in remission. Praise God!!
So Ray will begin his "post remission" chemo on Monday, Sept. 15th. He will be admitted into the hospital (BSA); Dr. told him to plan to be there at least 5 days and then he could possibly go home over the weekend. But after the weekend he will need to be admitted again because that is when the effects from the chemo will set in and it will be too dangerous to be home.
We are thrilled that he is in remission, but nervously anticipating what lies ahead. This next round of chemo will be very strong as well. Dr. Needleman uses an honest and "upfront" approach when discussing matters like this. That is what we really appreciate about him. So again, we beg for your continued prayers.
Plans are for 2-4 "post remision" rounds of chemo, each round (treatment & recovery) taking about a month.
I'll be posting more soon!
Love you all,
Kim

I checked the blog early this morning looking for this good news. Then I realized you'd have to actually see the Dr. for him to tell you this.
So glad to see it on the blog.
Ray, we know you will be a powerful advocate for us as you unite your suffering with Christ's. Thank you for your wonderful witness!
Love and prayers,

Hey, what wonderful news! We will continue to pray that all goes well during the next chemo.
Much love,
Alice and Doug
I'm dancing a happy dance for you at this moment. You've already proved you can make it through the chemo...just don't scare us all again. :-)
