Trish is again in

Trish is all checked in and the chemo may start as early as 10:00pm tonight. I posted the address and the phone number in the left column.

Trish will be getting HIDAC -- High Dose ARA-C. This chemo can dis-orient you and disturb motor skills. So they test your motor skills and have you right your name before and after the chemo to determine if they have reached the toxicity limit. Trish's blood pressure is high for her tonight. It's been a little high all week, so marginally that we chalked it up to eating out this week.

In the April 9th issue of NewsWeek - one of the reporters who recently battled cancer wrote a great article. It captures much of the experience we have been going through. It talks about the insurance pain as well and tells the story of a person who sold his house to pay for his transplant -- in this way he kept his insurance active and didn't go into debt....Actually sounds like a good strategy, but not one that I think we will be able to follow. That same magazine (I believe ) talks about one of my favorite things -- Italian Easter pies...worth picking up a copy if you can.....

Dr. Griffiths is on call tonight and is checking Trish out and admiting her and will be around so I will leave soon and probably sleep well knowing that the A-Team is on call. I will bring her all her stuff in the morning.
