Mom will leave on Friday for a road trip with her friend, Denise Celse, to visit family. We are excited that the doctor's have allowed Mom to go ahead with her three week trip, since the girls have had this planned for the last two years; however, we are still nervous for her safety and health. Please be praying these next three weeks that the trip will go smoothly and that Mom's health remains in good condition.
The new treatment with the herceptin seemed to work well. Mom did not experience any new side effects, although the fatigue continued. She pushed through a long weekend, filled with graduations and small trips, so she is doing her best to recover from that before heading out on Friday. Her white-cell count came back pretty low (1.9), so she had a booster shot yesterday and then will have another shot today. Our prayer is to get the count back up before Friday morning!
Once she returns from her trip, we will go ahead and have one more treatment, with the herceptin, before scheduling the surgery. Her next treatment is planned for Wednesday, June 18. Thanks for praying!

Dear Barbara,
as I was picking up my ticket to Italy (again, you might think!), I stopped by your office unaware of the changes in your life and health. I met with Randy and we prayed together.
Please remember that the Lord who allowed this cancer and Ingrid's cancer, brought my family through. He will also be powerful enough to bring you and yours through. Don't loose hope, please. We are praying for you, even from Taiwan. I am starting a position there at the Christian university where I once gave my testimony by e-mail which we all finalized together. They offered me a Chair Professorship in Applied Mathematics.
Love
Siegfried (Scheng-Ping), Sue, John and Rickie
