The latest news on my friend Doug seems phenomenal. here is the latest post from his wife Jan!!! Thank you so much for praying everyone...
Great News!! Doug continues to feel better. He has had food for the first time this week. He is sitting up in a chair today, and feeling good.
The nephorology Dr. (kidney) is signing off the case as Dougs kidney functions have returned, and levels (bun, ceatinin) are normal.
Doug's calcium levels are normal, so that makes him feel so much better.
The best news is that the cancer has not invaded the brain!!!! This improves his chances of successful treatment.
Doug also seems to be responding to the 1 dose of chemo in a way that makes the dr.'s feel this treatment will be successful.
The next few days are critical in how he responds to this chemo. These are low doses, but the next round will be much higher. It appears that they feel that he may go into that treatment immediantly following this round. Doug MAY get a few days when he can leave for a few days.
The regimen looks like only 5 days in a 3 week period of chemo. All of his treatments will be inpatient here at Mayo, and any presentation of infection or illness he will have to be back at Mayo immediately.
God's greatness is already been cause for celebration today, but we believe that we will be awestruck in what he does in Doug.
