Hi all,

Nellie stared round two today. FLAG, is the regimine she is on. She gets neupogen, before, during and afer chemo drugs. each day for five days she gets, thirty minutes of Fludarabine and two hours later, forty five minutes of Ara-C, at the same time each day. Also she will get saline, potassium, magnisim, antibiotics and tx of blood and plates as needed.

Apreciate your comments Joan and Neil. Fortunaely they finally got the labs right and Nellie got her reds and was able to go home Thurs morning. She had a nice weekend, got stronger and was ready to go Monday. We had to wait until five PM before a room became available on the onch ward. I am amazed to see how good she looks. CBCs: Hbg nine point nine, whites three point nine, and plts are twenty nine.

A gentile man named Paul, a prostate cancer survivor, was just here to visit the room he spent one year fighting for his life, and won. After he left, those left in the room, Nellie, Julie my sister, Hermas her husband and I thought, hum,,, maybe that was an angel. But he came back today with his wife and we had a nice visit. Told him this story and he said, maybe I am an angel. I hope he is. He wished us well and said to Nellie, you will make it.

Well, I believe in prayer and love the idea of angels. Thanks for all you angels out there who are praying and rooting for Nellie. Keep up the good work.

Eli
