Shocking Invitation

Deb got a call from the Research Nurse at UAMS today that shocked us and put us in a ' what-goes? ' mood today.

Yesterday Dr van Rhee was scheduled to present Deb's case to the entire research and care team at UAMS Myeloma Clinic. Today the doctor had his research nurse call Deb and invite her to become part of an experimental treatment plan. This plan is the same one that one of our closest classmates was enrolled in when she died. We spent time with our friend several weeks before she died and discussed the treatment with her.  We will discuss the possibilities with Dr van Rhee when we return to Arkansas in mid-July. In the mean time, we have many questions we are formulating for that meeting.



Pray for us to have wisdom.

Deb is still suffering from her cold and will be glad when it passes. The limited chemo she had yesterday kicked in today. No fun!

Food angels brought us a great supper tonight. Thanks Food Angels!

  1. This is confusing. Did Dr. van Rhee give his reasoning?

    Sending you my love from across the waters...
