Feeling Good!

Matt has been working every day and feeling pretty good.  Matt and Casey has also been working on thier
retaining walls and they got their patio cemented.  Next week they are hoping to get their lawn in!!   Matt can't wait to mow his own lawn!!

Matt has decide not to do the new clinical trail they found for him.  Matt decided he is feeling so good he
wants to continue to work at his job and to try and get all his work done around his house.  He is hoping that they will offer the clinical trail in July and then he would try it!!

More good news!!! Casey got a teaching job!  Casey is the new kindengarten teacher at Shurs school in Watertown, Wisconsin!!  Yeah, we are so happy for Casey.   I knew Casey and Matt are relieved that
she was able to get a job so quickly!!!  It just goes to show they snap up the good teachers first!!!

Thank you for your continued prayers for Matt!

Clinical Trial Update

Yesterday Dr. Noelle Le Conte called. She found another Clinical trial that is more suited for Matt.  It is design for his type of cancer.  The drug that will be used is Linifinib.  This trail should start possibly next week.  It is taking one pill daily.  The first 12 days the doctor will want to see him several times.  After the first 12 days she will only want to see him monthly.

The Nurse from the clinical trial will be calling for Matt to come in and they want
to explain the trial to him and have him sign the papers.  This trial is completely covered through the trial.  It will be no expense to Matt.

Thank you for all your prayers!  God is listening!!

Clincial Trail

Matt got a call from Jennifer from UW-Madison Hospital.  She said that the lady on the list ahead of Matt was having some concerns and Matt was getting pushed back to end of July before he can start on his trial.
Although Matt has been feeling pretty good, except for another pain in his pelvic region this clinical trail should help shrink his tumors.  I called Dr. Holen to let him know what is going on and he said he would call
UW-Madison and find out exactly what was happening.  In the mean time Dr. Holen wanted Matt to have an office visit to check on the pain he is having.

Matt saw Dr. Bethany Anderson today.  She said that it might be residual pain from having the radiation. It is not a constant pain and it is not every day.  She said the pain should go away.  This was good news.  Hopefully the pain will go away ASAP!!!

This afternoon Dr. Holen called back.  He said that he talk to Dr. Noelle LeConte at UW-Hosptial.  She said the lady they are waiting on took a blood test.  The test should be back in two days.  If the blood test is not any better,  then this Lady will be dropped from the clinical trail and Matt can start next week. What a conundrum.  I do  not want to wish ill will on anyone!  I wish she can stay on the clinical trail and Matt can start it too!!! I leave it in God's hands.  He has a plan for Matt and this lady.  I pray for the best for her.

We will find out in a few days as to the answer if Matt will start the trail next week.

Our prayers should be for blessings in general, for God nows best what is good for us. by: Socrates

Thank you to everyone for all your prayers!  Matt and his family could not have made it this far without them!!
