back for the big blast

Thanks for the update Sophie. They sure are going to be blasting away with the big guns of chemo therapy. I’m marking October 28th on my calendar. Lots of love and positive energy being sent to Alice for her treatments, and to you for being such an important part of the whole process.

Good luck with everything! Please keep us posted! You are all in my prayers!

as rite now, my legs or toes really don’t work too well. AH! The JOYS of CIDP.
Thanks, Sophie, for the updates abbout the chemo’s side effects, and they sound pretty ‘normal’ for what lots of chemo patients go thru…that they are watching the blood counts like hawks is super good thing too! I’ve served time in a hospital ‘infusion’ ward on the cancer floor and got to meet some truly brave and wonderful folks there….especially a couple were there for me when I’d had Breast Cancer.
Tho in my humble estimation? Alice and YOU are both lots braver, as you are on a somewhat ‘unknown’ path for treatments.
I suspect that Alice is sort of feeling as if she’s been going thru the food processor rite about now, and you thru the ‘super chopper’ -it’s often harder to be the ‘hand holder and supporter’ in these situations as you are sort of ‘powerless’?
I Believe that you both are dedicated to each other, and that what strength you have can and will be shared freely as possible. Don’t lose that! But, please now? Is a critical time for YOU Sophie to take care of yourself as well. As WHO knows? What shape Alice will be in for the short term….And ‘short’ often has a somewhat ‘open-ended’definition for the ‘medicos’.
Keep heart and hope for a good long time! Often, it’s what we have left for the long run.

Sophie we all know that Alice is grateful for all your good work and so are the rest of us. We need the encouragement and the knowledge that you are sharing in this undertaking. I can feel the hurricane of positive energy, support, and prayers that are heading your way. I know that you and Alice will be safe in the eye of the hurricane.
I was especially touched when you showed reverence for the little hamsters and rabbits. Alice and many others will soon be living an abundant life because of those little creatures.

Sophie,
You need to tell Alice to look up a memeber by the name of Norb. He has some hilarious pictures of himself when he was getting Rituxan. I am not going to tell you and spoil it. BTW, I have ALWAYS told the doc and neuro I tink the t-cells are the answer as wel as the thymus gland. Somewhere there lies the answer. If we could just get that gland to throw out the bad t-cell receptors!

BTW, did you get a chance to check out the popcorn at Garrets on Mich Ave? Trust me ists worth it!! Especially cheese!

I’m overwhelmed by the courage and grit both you ladies have shown and are showing. Truly overwhelmed[/COLOR].[/FONT]
