I thought I'd have more access to a computer while in Houston but I didn't this time. I'm now sporting a super port (I didn't know they came in "regular" or "super".) I think it just means I'll get more than the average sticks. We got home about 11:00 PM last night and go back for the next round in 3 weeks. Dr. Green (oncologist) thinks I'll be on chemo for 4 1/2 to 6 months (until they get the best result they can from it) and then they'll consider a stem cell transplant. I'll get the testing done in 6 weeks to see if the chemo is working--I won't be a candidate for the transplant if the chemo isn't working. The stem cell transplant means 2 1/2 months in Houston during the school year. Three weeks of that in the hospital and the rest at an apt. with a caretaker (someone who can drive you to the ER if you need to go). Seems like an awesome undertaking. Thanks so much for the phone calls (I don't always catch them but I love hearing your encouraging words on the recorder), cards, meals, flowers, and on and on.
