Well, today seems to have been a long, difficult day in Houston for Dan and Greta. They need your help and prayers now more than ever. Basically, they found out after meeting with the new doctor today that Dan's cancer has set into his marrow and is constantly destroying his red blood cells. His platelet levels are very low but after a meal they did another blood draw to cross type and match for another possible transfusion.
As far as treatment updates, we have 2 currently. First, there is a different type of chemo that was discussed that is not as strong as the round he was having in Lubbock, but he refused that route - we don't blame him, it would be miserable and the last time it literally did nothing to fight the cancer. The second option is a drug called DES which is only available in North Houston and is not made routinely but if he qualifies he may be able to get it. However, the drug is only administered on Mondays and Wednesdays which would result in weekly or biweekly flights...which is very costly as you can imagine. We would like to ask for specific prayer requests this evening and that is for Dan to qualify for this treatment and also we need prayers for patience and strength for everyone. This is a very, very hard time for Dan and his family so please pray they can find the strength in times of weakness and grant Dan the patience needed to allow the doctor's to find a treatment plan that will work for him. Thank you all for your love and prayers, donations are also still very much needed and appreciated.
