Keep up the strong, steady climb, knowing that you do have so many advocates, from home and all around the globe. The fact that you and "Clarity Craig" (that's great!) are open to different options and also generally open to the little joys of the world around you must be a huge asset during this chaotic time.

After 5 rounds of chemo the volleyball-size tumor has shrunk 70%. I know that what you are battling is different but I know that MDA works miracles. I hope that you have a safe trip to Houston!

Please go to Mission Burrito (a must if you only go to one place) and Amy's ice-cream. And, if you get a chance to go to the Ice House, you can play shuffleboard! Make sure you eat some good Barbecue...Goode and Company? Finally, I don't know how long you will be there but if you are looking for a weekend off, Galveston=nearby beach. Opportunity within obstacle. Houston=opportunity to see a new place/way of life. Perhaps your book will be arranged chronologically and headed with city names?Danger Kittenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00163698806505039179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-504905585662067586.post-20892385285510743142011-03-24T07:40:36.544-04:002011-03-24T07:40:36.544-04:00Everything's bigger in Texas, right?

I am also going down to Houston, but I'm down there for scans. They are my first scans post auto stem-cell transplant. I am so freaking nervous about them that I haven't been sleeping for about 2 weeks now. I got my transplant at MD Anderson. My transplant doctor is Nieto and my lymphoma doctor is Younes.<br /><br />I understand that uneasiness in the pit of your stomach, because I feel it too. I understand how much of your life has been stolen from you, and how little acts of control can save your sanity. I know how frustrating it is to watch your plans crumble, and how difficult it is to make new ones that are more than a week away. Reading your blog helps me feel less alone, and I truly appreciate how honestly you express yourself in a horrible situation.<br /><br />Since we are going to be down at MD Anderson at the same time, I would love to help you get accustomed down there. I know who to talk to about housing, where to call and sign up. I was in Houston for almost 3 months, so I've gotten pretty familiar with the city. Please, please look me up on facebook, my name is Pegah Babaei.<br /><br />Sending you good thoughts and vibes,<br />Pegah *_*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-504905585662067586.post-72109219926042913442011-03-23T21:18:01.080-04:002011-03-23T21:18:01.080-04:00What could be better than Texas???
