BHutch... Doctor told me taxol is mixed with a castor bean solution. It's all poison! So we get the chance to be allergic to evergreens or castor beans. Add mice when we take Herceptin. As for our furry friends, I've read that transplant patients take on some characteristics of their donors. The urge to eat spicy food and ride a Harley, for instance, when you have the donor heart of a Hell's Angel who loved Tex-Mex food. If Herceptin slipped me some Chinese hamster cells, well ..... I filled the bird feeder yesterday and had no urge to chew on the seeds. No urge to see the Great Wall either. So far so good.
