Yesterday (1/3) Mary was once again unable to get her Chemotherapy treatment due to a low Platelet count. Even though she feels good, the numbers tell all. We believe God has a say in how much of each treatment Mary needs so we are not concerned about missing a couple of treatments. Tomorrow she starts a 5 treatment Radiation boost that will be the last of the Radiation. They will concentrate the Radiation to just the tumor recession location and none of the surrounding areas. Since she began they have radiated the tumor location and the surrounding area to be sure to get the smaller finger like parts of the tumor. She may have one more Chemotherapy treatment next Tuesday if her Platelet count is up high enough. Then Mary will get a little bit of a break. We are not sure exactly how long. The Oncologist said he would like a MRI a month after Radiation ends. Thank you all again for everything, we are very grateful for the friends and family God has blessed us with.

    I praise God you are doing so well.
    It is so clear He is in control.
    When the time is right you can resume your chemo. I love you, Mary.
