    Update on my wifes Cancer

    Sorry I took so long to return a update on Laurie. I have been taking Laurie, on the once weekly drive to Iowa city. Everytime we see the doctors they are amazed on her progress. Her appetite is great. Her weight is going up each week. When Laurie returned from her stay in Iowa city,, she weighed 102lbs. She now weighs 112lbs. Her nutrition is great. I give her a daily regimen of dietary supplements, along with pure aloe vera for her digestion.
    She is half way through her Chemo treatments. They are giving her Paclitaxel weekly and Carboplatin once every three weeks. Laurie attitude is very encouraging, she is happy to be alive. I am very thankfull I decided to take ger directly to Iowa city. I am hoping and praying for a full recovery. Time will tell. Please keep Laurie in your thoughts and prayers. Thanks. everyone. Joe .

    Joe, thanks for the update. Laurie (and you and your family) will continue to be in my prayers.

    I have the utmost confidence in the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. It is where I was trained and where I spent 25 years. I truly believe they are the best at what they do. I am glad they are treating you well. With them and with you, she is in good hands all around.
