Mesothelioma & Chemo Therapy
Glenda's blood count is all messed up now, and she has to take 5 shots to try and get the blood count back up. If it is not back up she cannot have the 2nd treatment of chemo therapy this Wednesday. I sure hope and pray that this takes care of the blood count problem and she will be able to continue her chemo therapy.
Yes, its been 3 weeks since she had her first chemo therapy treatment, 4 weeks I believe since she go the results saying it was definitely Mesothelioma which is caused by asbestos.
After finding out she had this deadly Mesothelioma I searched the net, found that Steve McQueen had this type of cancer and it cost him his life at the age of fifty on November 7, 1980.
Seems to me he made a mistake trying the alternate treatment offered in Mexico, perhaps with out that treatment he might have lived a bit longer, but of course there is still no cure for Mesothelioma as of August 13, 2006. It has took ever life it has invaded and a cure for it has completely evaded all research so far. But I have read that a few have lived as much as 20 years after being diagnosed with it. So maybe they are getting close to find a cure for it.
I pray that few will be affected by this deadly disease caused by asbestos.
May God Bless,
Jerry
