I have a dear friend here whose cancer has returned. She is receiving treatment orders from her oncologist in a large mid western city. The chemo is administered by the oncologist here in TV when she is here in TV. She had some breathing problems end of April and when she returned to her Northern home her doctor changed her chemo and she is once again in TV for a month feeling much better..

The new chemo was made available to the Northern oncologist but not to the one in TV. Her Northern doctor can have it sent here. It is an experimental chemo.

In many cases we now view cancer as an ongoing chronic condition. I know you mentioned a stem cell transplant which can perform wonders. I hope there are other options too that can allow you to come here and spend as much time as you like.

I am sending yet another hug and many prayers from both Helene and I who survived cancer.

We also send love and understanding.
