I called and spoke with Kate just a minute ago. Maybe some have noticed that she has not been on the boards since 2/18 and that is partly due to her having computer problems. Before beginning this post I want you to know how great she sounds....after all..this is our Warrior Kate and I am so honored to be able to help her.

She has also been hospitalized for pneumonia and at 8 pm tonight she was scheduled for another breathing treatment.

Kate has found out that she has had some progression on her combo despite her most desperate desires for this cocktail to work. On Monday she will be beginning her new regime of Tykerb/Xeloda. Her voice was of the same strong-willed determined kind and her spirits were those that let you know she is going in fighting.

She does want you not to worry so let us make this our goals. Please know that she is ready for this combo and Monday cannot come too soon for her.

Again I want to say that I am so blessed to have such Angels in my life. Continue to keep praying for our 'lil tousled1 as I know y'all will (that one is for Kate & Bill)-hehe!!

PS: I love this family!! You all are an amazing bunch of Angels!!
