No radiology needed

Nope. No radiology needed. One more thing to check off the list through this process. Maintenance is enough to do.

We visited our young friend (almost 23) in the hospital as she begins her chemotherapy to prepare for bone marrow transplant. She already went through several treatments, platelet and blood transfusions, remission for one month and then cancer came back with a vengeance. She will need a bone marrow donor. Her system is too compromised and cannot be used. She has great family support, fantastic attitude, and is doing the best she can. We were glad to see her, as we know what it means to have supportive friends and family to talk to.

Dale was asked if he had good support. His answer to the resident doctor today, "Yes, Jan is very supportive." The resident doctor added that Huntsman has support staff available and asked if Dale had spoken to anyone. His reply, "Yes I have and that is when my depression began!" There is just no one like Dale's Jan that knows how to support Jan's Dale.
