Cycle 4 Begins

Yesterday was one of the more "efficient" days lately for us at CTRC. We arrived at 9:00 and I was called back into triage for one of my blood draws before we even had a chance to sit down in the waiting area. My EKGs were done next, and by 10:00 I had eaten my ritual breakfast. We saw Dr. Mita at 11:00, went back to the treatment room for another blood draw and waited for my drug. By 12:15, we were done. There seemed to be fewer patients there, for whatever reason, which we were glad to see. Typical Mondays are very busy.

I am now in Cycle 4 of this clinical trial. We should get an idea of the efficacy of this drug when I have my next scans on September 28. I am still feeling well.

We went down early this time so we could have a little time to play. We went to a couple of high school football games at the Alamodome on Saturday. We thoroughly enjoyed that. It was kind of nice spending some time there not doing the medical thing.

God continues to bless us in so many ways. He has used many of you in doing so. We are thankful for each of you.

Love,

Kenny and Helen

Just want to say I enjoyed catching up on the blog. Kenny you are so funny - the berry smoothie - I am not sure it could be worse than my spinach or Brussel sprouts as a kid, but I don't want to compare. I am praying for you and love your teachings in Sunday school!
