News from Al ...
 
Hi - I posted this first in response to Rhonda's query thread, but decided to give the post its own topic so it would not be missed by anyone wondering about Linda.
Steph

Hello All -
I have been in touch with Al today and he asked me to answer your concerns.
He has spent over a week at the hospital with Linda and is away from his computer for all intents and purposes. He sleeps in her room and you know how hard it is to sleep well when the staff comes in constantly for one reason or another. (I can say after just having had that experience for only 2 nights.)

Linda is being given what will keep her comfortable, and she knows Al and the family.
Al has been in touch with researchers at Dana Farber regarding Tykerb. Problem is that now Linda cannot swallow and this drug is in pill form.

Al will be back with any important news. In the meantime keep up the prayers for Linda's comfort and healing.

Do we know exactly what happened with Linda for her to be in this condition?

Lisa -

I can't answer your question about Linda with any detail - I only know that she has progression of her brain mets.
Al said that her liver counts had been good since she got back on the Xeloda.

Wish I had more info, but it is sketchy.

Thanks Steph
 
This is great of you to do this for all of us. If one person can check and keep us posted it certainly is a great help to Al with everything he is going through now.

I will keep checking on any other messages with further news.

My prayers for Linda/Al and their family. I am sure they know but if you are in contact with them please pass on from all of us on this site that they are in our prayers/
