Re: My sister had Bilateral/Gemzar kicks my butt

Oh my, what an update. So glad yoursister has the same courage and smarts that you possess. I hope all goes well with her recovery and she continues to get her strength back, and her treatments are easy on her.
Wow, Gemzar is the drug for you! So sorry it is also so very hard on your counts. Maybe like Lori said, you can get things in good shape and take a much deserved break.
You are always in my thoughts and prayers and I want to thank you for all your kindness and positive thoughts you send our way.
Be kind to yourself, be good to yourself and please keep us posted on your continued progress.
Emelie
