from Al

Hello everyone,
I know some of you have been scatching their heads wondering if I dropped off the face of the planet.
Linda has had a rough patch but is starting to rally; which she always does. The WBR knocked the crap out of her, combined with liver mets reasserting themselves. She has dropped the xeloda for the time being, is back on vinorelbine and also tarceva. She will continue the xeloda in a few months. I still hope to get her to Seattle for consultation when she is well enough to travel again.
I have been swamped with work, although I try to keep it part time but my year end is March 31 and I still haven't tied all the loose ends.
I hope to become more active on the site in about 1 week.
Miss all of you and will be in touch soon.
Cheers,
Al

Hi Al and Linda,
I want you both to know that you have been in my thoughts. I hope that this combination of chemo drugs will have Linda ready to make the trip to Seattle soon.
Best wishes,
Barbara H.

Hi you two! So good to hear Linda's on the mend, and although we've REALLY MISSED YOU, understand why you've been absent.
Look forward to "seeing" you back soon, take good care.
