Mike had his doctor's appointment yesterday and his news was not good. His "tumor count" went from 72 back up to 192. Before that, his count was 298. His other blood work counts are low but that is due to the chemo. On February 7th he will have more blood tests run. If his counts for his regular blood work do not improve, he will not be able to have his chemotherapy treatments until they go back up.
If his tumor count goes up again, the doctors are going to try a different type of chemo. Judy says that Mike is getting weaker, but he continues to go to work each day. It would probably benefit him greatly to cut his hours back. He needs to build up some strength and reserve what little energy he has to get well. The doctor says it is okay for him to continue working, though.
Please keep Mike in your prayers.

It's incredible how mentally strong Mike is as he continues to go to work every day.
More prayers for Mike and for his blood count to rise and his tumor count to fall.
