Changes in Clif's condition - prayer requests

There has been significant changes in Clif's condition these past few days.   His primary disease Myelofibrosis, has transformed to Leukemia, so the game plan has changed drastically. 
The Leukemia must be managed before a transplant can move forward.  However, the Leukemia can not be effectively treated until other issues are resolved.  He began a chemotherapy regimen to suppress the Leukemia, but the treatment is a lower dose due to some challenges in kidney function.  He is currently in ICU and sedated with tracheal intubation to help with oxygen levels.  His condition has become more complex, but we have a lot of hope.  He is in the best place for this setback, and this type of challenge is City of Hope's specialty.  Please pray for the doctors to have the wisdom to use the best treatment options for Clif's condition, and to foresee and avoid any further issues. Please pray for Clif's body to stabilize and respond quickly to the treatment.

  1. We were encouraged yesterday by Clif's fortitude! Clif is a warrior and is fighting for his life. We are ALL praying for the doctors, the family, and Clif as he continues to claw back. Clif is SO dearly loved by SO many of us and that was felt yesterday during our visit. Fight on! We love you!
