Update on old news

David has been feeling great.

The injection site has been itchy and he has developed a rash just at the site.  He was told yesterday that he can treat it with some cortisone cream.  He wasn't supposed to use anything initially and he thinks the worst is over now.  So, oh well.

His cough has seemed to lessen and he has not had any more complaints of breathlessness. He finished the antibiotic for the pneumonia. Now we have to wait until April 21 to see if the fluid cleared up, if it was actually pneumonia or if the cancer has spread.

My prayer is that it was pneumonia and the fluid is gone. If the fluid is still there for whatever reason, he will have to have it drained. This procedure doesn't sound horrible, but he would still rather not. Thank you.

He has not complained of any side effect from the Sutent this round. Hopefully that continues and hopefully and prayerfully this medicine will work.  If he has to change to another med, it will be a whole new chance for worse side effects.

Please pray:
1. No more complications from fluid, cough, meds, injection, and anything else!
2. Fluid gone!
3. Sutent working!
4. Scans on April 21 show no progression of cancer, how about REGRESSION!!!

Thank you for continuing to pray!
