Show and Tell
This blog entry is a “Show and Tell”. 🙂
I am attaching a link to share with you the current status of my Bad Blasts.

In less than 4 weeks on the new medication code-named AC220, my bad blasts have dropped from 78% all the way down to 1%! – someone has been praying 🙂 My physician is ecstatic since I have contributed great results to the study. At this stage, I am one of his best Guinea Pigs.
In this picture below, I look mighty fine after consuming my dose of AC220.

AC220 is a targeted medication for AML patients with FLT3 Mutation (the most aggressive one). It is as clear as water, tasteless and so far, has very minor side effects. I take one tablespoon at home daily and voila, I am done for the day. Currently my blood counts are down and I have been requiring platelets twice a week, however, I was informed that once my blasts are gone, then my blood counts will recover accordingly. PTL !
On a sad note, I met a lot of FLT3 patients that have not qualified for AC220. I am so blessed to have qualified fairly quickly. What a blessing it is to be able to bypass a nuclear dose of Chemo … AC220 has been a piece of cake so far. hm, hm, hm … At this stage the goal is to reach 0%. Once reached, they plan to keep me on the med for 6+ months then decide the next steps. 🙂
Thank you for faithful prayers and support.

Then King Darius wrote to all the peoples, nations, and languages that dwell in all the earth: “Peace be multiplied to you. I make a decree, that in all my royal dominion people are to tremble and fear before the God of Daniel, for he is the living God, enduring forever; his kingdom shall never be destroyed, and his dominion shall be to the end. He delivers and rescues; he works signs and wonders in heaven and on earth, he who has saved Daniel from the power of the lions.” (Daniel 6:25-27 ESV)
Sami, I am grateful that we serve the living God who is the same yesterday, today and forever. He delivers, rescues and works sign and wonders.
The LORD said to Abraham, “Why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘Shall I indeed bear a child, now that I am old?’ Is anything too hard for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you, about this time next year, and Sarah shall have a son.” (Genesis 18:13-14 ESV)
Keep on looking up to the hills where our help comes from. I am praying for a full recovery.

2 Corinthians 10:3-5
“I live in the world. But I don’t fight my battles the way the people of the world do. The weapons I fight with are not the weapons the world uses. In fact, it is just the opposite. My weapons have the POWER OF GOD to destroy the camps of the enemy.
I destroy every claim and every reason that keeps people from knowing God. I keep every thought UNDER CONTROL in order to make it obey Christ.” In prayer Sami…

PTL! Wonderful news!
Praise God. He answers prayers. We were in Jordan this week leading a mission team from Qatar to minister to the refugees there. Pastor Joseph from Lebanon was with us all week. While driving with Joseph, I told him that we were praying for a dear friend from Lebanon who was being treated for Leukemia in the US. He asked if this was for Sami La Houd and told us that his wife is Jaqueline’s sister. We visited 4 Syrian refugee families with Joseph. Joseph was advised not to witness to the refugees and not to pray with them. We ignored the advice. If there had been a mud puddle near one house we visited, we would have baptized the family. In another house, the man asked for a New Testament. God bless you and we will continue to pray for you in Qatar.
Love it. Mighty Mouse 🙂 xoxo
Good for you my friend! And I like your post AC220 picture. =) God bless!
