Journal entry by John Hein

I had a picture I intended to include with the last post.  It is attached, I hope.

Yesterday, Tom Beekman and I flew back home.  I thank him for his assistance!

I must be frank that my reaction to the PT-112 drug has been challenging. Fatigue probably has been even greater than chemo.  The low point was last night, so I'm doing a little better today.  By this afternoon I was able to teach Catechism, so at least I was somewhat productive. I did email the research nurse who said that I may likely have more energy for the weekend.  So I'm hopeful I can preach by Sunday.

I greatly appreciate the support and prayers of so many!  Along with the LORD as my Rock, you are greatly treasured.
