Well, strike the last post.

I got a call from Roswell this morning.  Apparently, the final word on that first study is . . . the person ahead of me was not eligible, so I got the slot after all!!  I was shocked because Dr. Dy made it sound like it was a pretty definite no go last Friday.  I go for all the preliminary testing on Thursday.  So, as long as everything checks out, I should be starting treatment sometime next week.  No hair loss and no yucky fatigue to deal with.  Let's hope it works!!

Sending positive thoughts and prayers for the person who wasn't eligible, and hopes for a beneficial alternative treatment.

    Love ya Seester!!
