Thank You Both

Sally & Chirley

Thank You both for replying. I will try and get in touch with Bob regarding the Veterans classification- and see if he doesn't have any suggestions for me.

Chirley - do you know what they used to treat your Candida with? If so - let me know, and I will at least have the upper hand when I question our PCP.

Earl is supposed to start his 3rd session of the Dacogen therapy on
Tuesday. But, he is getting so weak, and occasionally nauseated - but the compazine doesn't seem to work for him. I will question that as well. He also has an appointment Tuesday afternoon with a surgeon to get a port put in. He doesn't want to - but his PICC line keeps clogging on me, and I can't seem to get it open. I did the other day - but that was the day following hs 2 doses of activase - and I used heparin in his lines to help, I got a small light pink flush this AM - and will try tonight. I understand where he is - the Derma just removed a second lesion from the same arm - his right arm - and it is very sore. Right now - nothing seems to be going in our favor.
