Well,
Linda has been on decatron for 48 house and no real change although her liver profile is now better than it has been in 5 months!!
She has had her transfusions and is getting neupogen. Still, she does nod or shake her head "no"to some questions. She is very comfortable, knows who I am and still enjoys lying in bed with me even if it is a narrow hospital bed. I stayed with her last tonight and will tonight as well.

The "experts" feel either edema or tumor growth. Linda gets a CT scan tomorrow (only because we can get it faster). If tumor growth in shown, I need to get a chemo / lapatinib plan together. Would they give a non-responsive patient chemo? Still questions to be answered.

I'm listening for suggestions and contacts.
