Matt had his first round of chemotherapy on Thursday, March 13th. The chemo was pretty aggressive to match the advancing tumor growth and the doctors monitored him closely during the weekend for improvements. The good news is that he has made it successfuly through this round. They were concerned that the chemo would shut down his kidneys (tumorlysis syndrome) but he is holding his own against the treatment. He is scheduled for two more sessions of chemo this week.
The many prayers of all concerned have been felt by the family. They are so grateful for all the love they have felt from family, friends, the hospital staff, and the church members who have been serving them on such short acquaintance.
Both Matt and Crystal would like to express their gratitude for your prayers, fasting, and support. Crystal will be posting how they are all doing to me (Charity Howell) as often as she can to keep you all updated. They feel incredibly blessed to have so many good people willing to go out of their way to help.
Once again, thank you all for your love and support. Your prayers are so very appreciated.
