If it feels like we haven't been writing many updates in recent days, that's because not a whole lot has happened. Each of the last two weeks, Jack was scheduled to get his bone marrow checked, only to have the test postponed because his ANC (a measurement of blood cells) was too low to provide a representative sample. This has been somewhat discouraging for Jack and the rest of us, but we're trying to maintain a positive attitude.
Jack is scheduled to try again Tuesday, so please pray for the following:
- That his ANC would be sufficient to complete the testing, and
- That the test would reveal that his minimal residual disease would be less than 0.01%, enabling him to continue on his current path of treatment.
Thanks so much. We'll make sure to update you all after Tuesday's appointment.
Will be praying for all of you.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Shelley.
