    This bulletin board knows her as "carolb" or Carol Bellinger. She's, right now, on bag 5 of IL2 and tired. The first couple of bags were tough on her side effects-wiise but the family reports that she's stubborn and getting up though she's not supposed to.  Like I said, yesterday was tough and scary. Please hold carolb in prayer. She's one tough, determined, strong in her faith lady.

    Thanks.  BTW, I have the family's permission to let you know how she is and what's going on with her.

    Grace and peace,

    Carol

      Thanks for the update. Carol had a rough time last time also but she has proven she is at least a partial responder so I'm glad she's able to push through this.  Sending her hugs via cyber space!

      Thanks for keeping us updated on Carol B's status.  Please send her my best and tell her that we are all praying for excellent results.  I know that she can do this…keep the IL2 flowing!

      The latest as posted by Carol's daughter on my Rev. FB page is that Carol's coming home today in good spirits. While there were some scares, she pulled through her treatments…the last count I saw was 10 bags…and she wants to thank everyone for their prayers. Prayer pulled Carol through.

      Maybe she'll be back on here soon!

      Grace and peace,

      Carol
