Daniel Waters update

Dear Family & Friends,

Daniel received his 6th round of chemo yesterday and today. The doctor told
us the tumor had pretty well calcified meaning there wasn't much if any life left
in it. He only had to do light laser surgery this time. The doctor said he should
only have to have one more treatment.

The first two months after treatment are critical as the chemo could possibly
be keeping another or other tumors suppressed. This is not always the case as
other patients have had new tumors appear during the chemo treatments.
Daniel will have to have regular exams under anesthesia for the first few months
after the chemo and laser is completed to keep a close check.

Each round of chemo has made him weaker but other than that he's done
extremely well for what he is going through.

Please pray for:

1. Blood counts to elevate enough to stay on schedule.

2. Continued successful treatments.

3. No new tumors after completion of treatments.

4. No lasting side effects from the chemo.
