| Marisa Barrera Submitted by: Rev. Rodolfo Barrera | Dearly beloved, as previously mentioned, Marisa got her port put in on Tuesday the 24th. This procedure went without any problems or complications, thank God. The following day she had a LITTLE discomfort but that was expected as the surgeon told her to expect it. On Wednesday the 25th, she had the first chemo treatment. Remember, this was the first in a series of 8. She will be getting them every week. Marisa's Oncologist, Dr. Friedman, is keeping a very close eye on Marisa's treatment and progress. The man is all right. Like the kids say: he is cool. He is German-Jew and he is top notch. Today, I went to my PCP for the regular check up and THANK GOD everything is ok. My next appointment God willing will be in 6 months. My PCP told me: keep doing what you are doing. I said to him, all right !!!!!!!!!! OK as committed to you all, I will keep you posted on everything in this end. My daughters join me in expressing our gratitude to all of you, especially to those of you in the Duke City, for your continued prayers on Marisa's behalf. Thank you ALL and may God reward your kindness and thoughtfulness with His choicest blessings. As always, Rodolfo Barrera. | 01-26-2012 |
