Visit With the Oncologist

Mark seemed a bit stronger today. Jeff assisted us in getting to BuxMont Oncology for the office visit with Dr.Kaufman. Although this was the first time to meet him, he was on top of Mark's case & had obviously read the report/recommendation from Dr. Rosenfeld. He noted that his "performance status" is decreasing. He concurred that the Avastin drug is an "opportunity for him to get some response", as many other patients have experienced. So that was administered again today by IV in the port Mark has now. He actually slept through half of the one hour drip. He enjoyed a nice meal at home tonight from Janice Althouse and stayed up to watch some TV. The Home Health Care Aides are doing a wonderful job daily. God continues to direct this journey we're on. Thank you for your prayers.

We continue to pray for you, Mark, and for you, Nan, that you will know God's empowering presence these days. You are such a generous couple to so many, including our family. Please know you are loved.

And Mark, we really did miss you at Messiah Board of Trustees. You bring both a great attitude and significant insights.
Craig, Laura, and family
