Update on Dennis Gibson's Health
"Dennis, you've turned the corner!" My wife spoke as a prophetess about my progress over cancer. A chorus of consensus shouted within me, "I'm sure that's true." It was like the writer, Paul, expresses in Romans 8, that the Spirit of God bears witness with our inner spirit - consensus.
This fresh vitality came a few days after an infusion of packed red blood cells lifted me out of weakness, dizziness, and discouragement caused by low hemoglobin.
My experimental treatment has been tweaked to a low dosage of 10 mg CCI-779 every other Thursday. That level keeps my platelet count well above the 50,000 minimum necessary to qualify for treatments. Yesterday I was treated at 65,000! Next week I'm due for CT scans to see how well this treatment is continuing to shrink this "incurable" lymphoma in my chest. I might be helping to prove the usefulness of a treatment that will be repeatable over the years. So, we can manage the condition like other chronic diseases, like diabetes, with minimal reduction in quality or length of life.
This June has been the greenest, most luxuriant I have ever seen. My soul fills with life and worship! I am eager to increase the number of clients I serve in my office counseling practice and cancer coaching by telephone.
