AA- love these speculation discussions. I have always had good hemoglobin counts (high side of normal) even during chemo. Wished it would have saved me from + nodes. But who knows- possibly they saved me from distant mets. Knock on wood.

Maybe we should enter the contest some investment companies are having- one million dollars for the best new cancer treatment idea:

I will be up in ALaska, via cruise, at the end of the month. I'll holler and wave!

(I don't think my altitude will change that much unless I go up to the 10th floor of the ship for an extended period...)
