Re: New Plan, New Chapter for progression
Hi Sheila,
So sorry to hear about your progression. Remember you have the best docs on the planet at Rush/Chicago...so I am confident you will get the best treatment possible. That radiation department at Rush is impressive...You might want to message me off line, but where do you live? We have an apartment in the Chicago suburbs with my mom but our permanent home is on a lake 150 miles west of Chicago. We spend our time between the two places, since we both can work remotely. I would be willing to help you out, drive you to radiation etc. just so you have a buddy to talk to! Let me know if I can help you. Or possibly I can watch those beautiful labs of yours...I would love to get my hands on those 2 cuties!!! Our lake property is lab heaven!! We have two Jack Russell terriers. 10 years...you are a warrior!!!
