quick update...

im on the run tonight, as i need to drop the dog off so it'll be a quick update.

chemo still on hold. still waiting for the belliruben numbers to come back to normal. the physical liver is fine, but they are still watching the liver chemistries (whatever that means). doctors say we're ok to continue to postpone as she had such a large dose the first time and better to wait than to put anything at risk. she's developed a small fungal infection that starts in the back of her throat and goes into her stomach which was caused by the chemo. doctor has her on antibiotics. no real side effects as her appetite thus far has actually been increasing.

she has been walking around quite a bit these days, but it does tire her out.

She wanted to thank Ethel and Patrice for sending cards today (and a bunch of other folks who have sent stuff previously that we didn't get a chance to thank).

thats it for now.

thanks for the update

Hi Anna,
I am truly grateful for these updates. Good natural supplements that greatly help the liver include phosatidyl choline, mistletoe and artichoke extract. I would suggest those supportive supplements once they have been approved by your doctor. Check out Andrew Lessman's all natural vitamins and supplements at procaps labs on the Internet. Here are the links: http://www.procapslabs.com/PCL/Pages/Products/PCLProductDetail.aspx?Live... also: http://www.procapslabs.com/PCL/Pages/Products/PCLProductDetail.aspx?Phos.... There are good product descriptions there. You can also get these supplements at a discounted rate through www.hsn.com.
Sending you lots of love and healing good wishes for your speedy recovery.
Love ya,
Stephanie
