Chemo has begun, but Maylene is doing well.

Maylene spent her Labor Day weekend in the hospital getting her first round of chemo. She is only getting two of three drugs they said that she would receive due to one of the breathing tests coming in low. She will have to retake the breathing test to see if her DCLO levels come in higher and at that point Dr. Richardson and Dr. Frazier will decide whether or not to start the third chemo drug or continue with the two. 

Maylene did an awesome job this past weekend, but she was definitely ready to go home by the end of it. She is home resting now, and her appetite is starting to come back little by little.  Chemo makes everything taste metallically.

She was able to see her little brother, Greg, dressed up for his first day of Kindergarten, but unfortunately she wasn't feeling well enough to go see him off to his first day of class. Hopefully, tomorrow she will be able to take him to school.

Also, a bit more good news!  Before May's surgery, her Alpha Beta Protein (ABP a.k.a. cancer cells) level were over 3,000. After the surgery her ABP level went down to 1,100, and right before she started chemo this weekend her ABP level was 250.

Please keep the prayers coming because they are doing wonders. Thank you all for the continue love & support!!
