Dear Rhonda and Everyone,
Well, Vernon and I are doing good, Vernon's brother Dean, has very
agresive Pancreatic Cancer. He is in California receiving treatment,
and he is receiving Chemo once a week for three weeks, and then he
takes a break from Chemo. This will go on for about 9 weeks, and then
if the toomer shrinks enough, they might do surgery, we don't know.
His wife, Betty is with him, and they are staying at his oldest
daughter's house.
His three daughters and his wife are all going to be with him for Christmas.
Please keep Dean in your prayers, as well. This is hard on Vernon,
and myself, too. Last night I soaked my pillow.
We talk to Dean about once a week, on the day after his Chemo treatment.
Vernon is doing good, and he is as sweet as ever to me.
I'm doing pretty good, but I'm dealing with dizziness, so I would
like prayers for that, please.
We have changed doctors and he is going to do a bunch of tests to
find out what is going on. I'm wearing a Hulter Monitor for 48 hours,
to see if it is something in my heart, where the heart changes when I
do some activities. I have to do this silly diary, so I have to
document all my physical activity, and all the dizziness, as well.
Then, my Hemoglobin is too high, and they want to find out what is
going on, so I will be seeing a Hemotologist/Oncologist, to see if
there is any cancer cells or if there is a blood disorder. I'm
definitely not anneemic.
Sorry for the miss-spelling.
The sleep study is over with now, but I'm back on the Melatonin
again, and we'll see how that is going to go. I have to take a real
low amount of Melatonin, right now, 200 MCGS.
I'm not sure how that is going to work out, but we'll see.
Other than that, I'm doing pretty good, trying to stay positive.
I'mpraying for all of ou.
God Bless you all.
Lovingly,
Pat Ferguson
