-- Phil's update for Nov.2

[Guest guest]

Well, I have good news and bad news

The good news is there has been no change noted in Phil's, CT scan no

reduction or growth in the cancer.

The bad news is that his counts are pretty bad. Platelets, white and Red

Counts are ALL down there are signs of bleeding somewhere in the colon and a

blood

transfusion and colonoscopy are scheduled for this week.

Please pray for all of us

Thanks

Phil, Narice, Dan & Timmy May

You already have my prayers Narice and I will pray extra hard...but

I'm so very happy to hear that basically Phil is stable...which for

cancer is a very good thing. I don't understand one thing

though....Phil has been feeling so well how can his counts be so

low? I guess each person reacts differently. Bert's were never

really low so I don't have any first hand experience with that. But

a gal I work with diagnosed about four months ago with breast cancer

looks and feels just awful when her counts are down and usually, as a

result, they can't give her any chemo.

Stay the course Narice. I'll know more on Bert come Thursday. I

pray he has remained NED.

Hugs,

Monika

Narice,

I will pray for Phil and you as you continue this fight. The

uncertainty plays havoc with one's psyche.
