Jim called and said the trial was off. Blood this and that. BUT IT'S NOT. It's back on. I wanted to get to that quick, so it didn't do to your heart what it did to mine, until he called me back an hour later.
Jim's platelets are low, and he's retaining about 2o pounds of water in his legs. The cancer is growing actively fast now, cutting off circulation and eating up not only his red blood cells, but his platelets, too, which is new for us.
They said they couldn't put him on this med. with the platelet...blah blah blah, which he thought meants he couldn't go on the trial. But he they are just going to give him some blood, which will delay some things, but...
HOWEVER, last time Jim was in the hopt, he got 2 units of blood and they disappeared, never to show up in his body and the docs were worried that the cancer was causing some type of blood disorder.
Could anyone reading this pray that the enemy and his tactics be bound and thrown to hell, where he belongs. I want to say to them. "PEOPLE, HE'S DYING, JUST PUT THE DAMN DRUG IN THE VEIN." Of course that's not very scientific, so......
So, it's all systems go, but I really feel there are many systems here trying to block it.
Hey, fellow Hebrew students, remember when we learned that we will some day judge the angels, including the satan's? Well, you be around when I'm on the throne and Mr. ALCL ALK+ shows up for judgment......oh boy, no mercy.
So as of now, he's still on, but if this blood they give him doesn't increase platelets or goes bad like last time, or....no deal. Please pray against this for us.
Thanks
and Mary Joe, I'm already getting those wrinkles from this stress. :) :(
Love Gloria

Man, this is not a good surprise. We will certainly pray. Dad has myloma, which is a type of cancer of the blood, because of his lymphoma. I can't quite remember what it does to the blood but myloma is common among lymphoma patients.
I think the reason why they can't give him the treatment until his blood count goes up is because it will only get worse because of the treatement. That's what I'm thinking anyway.
Regardless of the reason we will pray.
all our love
