You deserve a big bear hug! I am so glad to hear that your mom is doing better. Have they put her on any blood pressure medication yet? I also had a problem with that when I was on Avastin and I am still taking blood pressure meds. It will work, don't give up hope. I guess I was ready to celebrate just a little soon. I am hoping that my hair will just thin and that the lashes and brows will stay. I am coming to Chicago when TC gets out of the hospital. That would be great if you and your mom could meet us for lunch. Even if TC does not feel up to it, she would want me to go. I do not know if I have your phone number but you could send it to me in a private message and I could let you know when I get there. Give your mm a hug for me. Love Chris

You deserve a big bear hug and so does your mom! I am glad to hear that she is feeling better and that she is dealing with the treatments just fine. I am not doing to bad, but this new chemo really hits me at times. I have had a lot of nausea which I have never had before and I have been really tired but I am hoping that it will all soon pass. I have only been to Chicago a few times and it was just there and back. I know that I am going to enjoy my time spent up there with TC. I wish you were a little closer then we could maybe meet for lunch on the day I head home. I am just not real sure how far off of 57 you are. Take care and I will talk to you soon. Love Chris
