Hi All,

Jess had a pretty average weekend. She has her good and bad times. She actually had a pretty good day today when we went to Medford for chemo. We had a girls day today and it was really fun. We headed out about 1030 am and her appointment was at 1230, to get her blood drawn, a doctor visit, and then chemo. We felt like we had a good doctor visit. Dr. Taylor came in and said that her blood count was really good and they were going to check on her liver since it has been acting up with the oral chemo; but she never came and found us again, so we are hoping that was good too. She checked Jess' mouth and said that the lump she had seen about 6 weeks ago in her soft palate was gone now. We are hoping that there is going to be really good news in Portland in about 2 1/2 weeks! I am praying for that :)

Jess is still having some pain in her stomach so they did an extra test today to check it. She has to be back in Medford tomorrow for chemo again, so they will get the results back then. The doctor went over all that has happened in the last few weeks because we haven't been seeing her for doctor visits. We have been seeing the PA. She told us what Jess has been going through (trips to the hospital and low blood counts) is common for as much chemo as she has been getting...so it made me feel better. She said that they were going to be watching her closely in the next couple of weeks, since she is having different chemos (to make sure that she doesn't get the hives like she had before). Well I hope that I got everything covered that has happened today, lol, it was a busy busy day. Please keep her in your prayers.

Love to all,
Cindi
