Happy Birthday!

Today is the fourth day of our 8th week of treatment. The treatment consisted of a modified fever week with three intense sessions of heated therapy (5 hours long each) and one long whole body hyperthermia. Layla's response has been great in terms of fever. Her fever spikes after treatment and stays high for few hours and eventually dies out at night. She will recover this weekend as she prepares for an actual original fever week that's similar to the one she did the second week of treatment.
So how do we spend our day? We are mostly at the clinic Monday through Friday and Layla typically has treatment ranging anywhere from 5 to 8 hours. The clinic is filled with hopeful patients with different kinds of cancer.  The diverse group of patients includes teenagers, young fathers and mothers as well grandparents. We share a lot of information and provide support for each other.
The tumor markers have come down a little bit and so have the liver enzymes. We are counting fully on the immune system to do the work.
Happy Birthday to Layla and Nina. We spent the weekend in the beautiful city of Budapest which is a little under three hours by train. It was cold and raining but the city was still full of tourists where Europeans were enjoying a three day weekend since Friday, November 1st was All Saint's day.  
With lots of hope from Vienna,
Team Layla
