Hi Judi~
Very good point on the insurance. I guess I'm just still having a hard time accepting the fact that this isn't something that's just going to go away, no matter how much I wish. About clinical trials.......I'm not sure that I'm willing to put her through that. I mean, it's hard enough using what they know to be effective, how will I know that we're not going to put her through even more than she's facing anyway? I really haven't read much on the clinical trials, just for that reason. But, I will. I guess bottom line is we won't quit. On the other hand, until a couple of weeks ago, I didn't realize how thankful we should all be for the people who are brave enough.
I'm very sorry to hear about your niece. I have two nieces myself, and I love them like my own.
Another question for you...had you been feeling bad before your blood counts dropped so much, or did it happen that suddenly?
