Fortunes

Christi is checking her email if anyone would like to send her one animalloverchristi@yahoo.com

She is up now working on a creative project; she asked me for a fortune that she could include with it. How did I do?

your life will be judged
not by its length
but by your strength



Well after a day of suffering, a call from her mother turned everything around. She perked up started eating and doing crafts. She will probably be up all night now since she slept most of the day.

Before bed she did her Thalidamide. It is supposed to make her very lathargic. I am anxious to get more anti-cancer meds into her. Our “throw in the kitchen sink” game plan follows.

Here goes:
For pain; 1) extended release morhine 2x daily
2) dilaudid for breakthrough pain
3) stool softner to combat the ill effects of morphin

Anti Tumor Treatment
4) Doxirubicn 1x per week IV
5) Thalidimide-2 pills at bed time
6) low dose Cyclophoshimide starting Friday
7) low dose Etopiside alternating with Cyclo
8) Zometa to ease bone pain investigational for anti tumer effect
9) Oral calcium to balance the calciaum imbalance of Zometa
10) Celebrex 100 mg X 2 day (investigational for ant-angiogenisis)
11) Tricor 48 mg x 2 day (investigational for anti-angioenisis)
Other
12) sski protect the thyroid from the MIBG-one more day
13) Bactrim-who cares not doing it until her counts drop
14) Zophran-for nausea 2x daily


Our current situation reminds me of hiking Camel Back Mountain in Arizona. You drive and drive to get to it, you can see it coming the entire way, there is plenty of time to prepare, however, when you get out and start climbing you realize that it was much harder than you anticipated....
