SGN-35 working...and Fluffy

I'm so sorry for being MIA this past month. I’ll give you a quick update first. My mother-in-law went back to Lebanon June 30th. my mother hasn’t been feeling well for a while now, and she will have an angiogram this Thursday to see of she needs another stent (but she will be just fine...she has a history of heart issues and diabetes but she pretty much knows her body), we got a new kitty. First we thought it was a he and his name was Tigger....but we found out he’s really a she, so now her name is Fluffy (the flash reflects in her eyes...she looks so scarey in this photo)



And the best news.....
All of your prayers are working!
Marcel had a scan...and on June 28th his doctor told us the clinical trail he’s on (SGN-35) is working. Almost all of the cancer is gone, except for a small spot in his chest area. We were so nervous because they told us if it wasn’t working they'd have to take him off of it....and now were just in heaven with his progress! I really wish that the FDA approves this treatment that he is on. There are so many other people in the same situation he was in, with no options...and this treatment could be a blessing for so many others.

I’m posting this at 4:36am because I’m working graveyard… and I really miss my bed right now. I don’t even know my brain is functioning at this time….but I really miss blogging. Now that everyone in my home has a kitty to play with, there’s always a free computer I can get on to blog. There are so many things to write about….but I promise to find the time this week.

Ramadan Mubarak! Greetings from Rio, Brazil.
I like to read your posts. Go on writing. May I ask you a question? Would you like to return to Lebanon in order to live there?
My dream is to live in Bahrein, imagine...
Kisses.
Visit my blog, too.
