Options

This morning I went to the hospital for a blood test. Although I don't know the details, it was some kind of genetic test, required to see if I would be eligible for a research project in the US. It takes about four weeks to get the results, so it was important to get the test as soon as possible.

While I don't have any details yet, it seems that there are currently three options:
  1. Treatment with Interleukin at Hôtel-Dieu Hospital in Montreal as part of a research protocol.
  2. A similar treatment at Hôtel-Dieu Hospital in Quebec City, if there isn't any room in Montreal.
  3. A research project at the National Cancer Institute in the US. While I don't have any details, it appears that the treatment gives good results, and that the costs are borne by the NCI itself.
If you want to pray for me, please ask
  • that the results from my blood test would come through rapidly
  • for guidance for Liette and I when it comes time to decide which treatment to choose.
  • that we put our trust entirely in God, and count on Him, not on the medical treatments (even though we are grateful for them).
