Take THAT Cancer!


That's right, Scott and I just got back from a 5 mile bike ride - Take that Mr. Leukemia.


Hello to all.  We just got back from Chicago and my platelets are still below 50.  The rest of the counts are low but ok.  My liver enzymes got way better since I started taking Ursidal with every meal.  I am officially on the taper program, every two weeks I lower my dose of Tachrolimis/anti rejection drug.  I now only have to go to Chicago once every three weeks.  As the tachro level comes down so will my need for magnesium, so hopefully in a month or so I'll only need it once a week instead of two a week.  Lots of good news this trip.

God Bless,
Scott

    yea! yea! Here's to tapering and feeling better each day! I tapered, liver enzymes went up went back on, tapered again and then never saw those tacro/siro pills again. Great job on the bike ride! Exercise is the key to so many things including fatique! Take care, Sherry

    Hi Scott

    Just checked in after many days and you are looking wonderful. Glad to see you are active and if you continue I will bring my car and you can take knock taken out of the front end. NO I will not bring it north [just a t-rod] ..... Everytime I get the tools out Ann wonders how much damage I will and/or can do.

    You know God is GOOD ...... God just keeps giving us the support we need.

    Rahlf and Ann
