Those drug names sound like names in a really bad fantasy novel.

I would like to send him a card. Could you publish his hospital address here?

What was their excuse for failing to notify you that you were supposed to be there today?? Sheesh! Like you need MORE stress.

I'm visiting you (and him) in spirit. Thanks for the update.

Has the prepared meal delivery started yet?

[pegkerr]

Well, we were simply grateful that they got him in so quickly, and really, we've worked with them for months, and this was really the first minor snafu.

Yes, we are getting meals from Open Arms again. Thank goodness.

Thinking of you all.

Oh damn, damn, damn. A friend here in England whose husband has a very similar cancer is going through far too much like what you're dealing with. He had only recently returned to full-time work and his hair was grown back when it was determined that the cancer was back. He's getting chemo and is having his bone marrow harvested. I am thinking so much of all of you.

And the last thing you need is medical staff not notifying you in a timely way re. appointments. *sigh*
