Esther, I'll be thinking of you Monday, and hope the nausea is resolved quickly. Let us know how it goes, and prayers go out for a great outcome.

you are on my calendar

Esther, I wrote your name all over tomorrow in my calendar and I will hold you all day. I so hope all goes well and really hope the nausea subsides (that is so debilitating). You have gotten some good reinforcement here with your decision to gamma again. You have continued to do well on T/X in your body and that is great and could very well still be the case. The cerebellum is, as I understand, a smidge different from the rest of the brain, so maybe we don't know exactly how T/X affects all parts of the brain. I pray it is still working for you,
