Praise for good news!


We had our Doctor's report of all the tests Deb has had...it's good news! This photo shows her reaction to the news!

'No measurable cancer cells', 'all your numbers look great', 'you're doing great!'

Deb got her port installed in her jugular. It's needed for 10 am chemo tomorrow. We had to travel all over campus in order to meet all our appointments. Don't get in the way of this gal with her chariot!
Because tomorrow is a big day, and Deb gets hooked up to the 24/7 chemo pumps, and because it had been a hard day, and it was late for the cook (me) to start supper, I suggested we get the hotel shuttle to drop us at a nearby restaurant. Rita was on the bus and wanted to go also, so the three of us went to the restaurant. Deb was starving! She had a big salad and TWO bowls of soup!


We got to know Rita. She's seventy years old and lives in New Jersey. She is originally from Guiana. She's lived and traveled everywhere. She was originally treated at Johns-Hopkins. She left there very unhappy with their treatment plan. She loves it here in Arkansas.She is one step ahead of Deb in the treatment plan. She gets her second stem cell transplant tomorrow. We enjoy chatting with classmates in order to know what to expect.
