Irene had a FANTASTIC day @ UCSF ….

We visited and prayed with Jack Cauwels who is hospitalized at this time.  Jack’s facing his ordeal with inspiring optimism, trust and faith in God…!!!  We were also able to share lunch with Phyllis, Jack’s wife, and their daughter, Karen Schuler.

Irene was later greatly encouraged by her Oncologist appointment, meeting with Doctors Lloyd Damon and Amy Moore.  We should receive the actual AMYLOID blood test results next week but they are confident that this hideous disease remains in remission!  They also believe that because of Irene’s experience to date she falls within a sub-set of patients whose life expectancy is perhaps a decade beyond the stem cell transplant which was in June of 2007.  This is an amazing news development; we are rejoicing…!!!

We continue to praise God for all of the professionals at UCSF who are giving of their lives…to save lives.

Thanks for caring,

Dave
