Hi, Marcia here with an update.
It appears that Louise’s white blood cell count dance did the trick. Gary was able to have his next mega dose of chemo today along with the chemo he was previously receiving through Picard. In other good news the nurse said that there should be fewer and less severe side effects from receiving Picard’s chemo in one dose rather than 24/7. We’re sure that the white blood cell count dance will be in clinical trials by year end.
Gary is unfortunately still having some difficulty and discomfort eating and, through a bit of tenacity on his and Anne’s part, he will visit a radiologist at some point in the near future to determine if his feeding tube is going in the wrong direction, is secretly a part of the Borg collective, or is otherwise not behaving like it’s supposed to and therefore contributing to his problems.
More news as it’s available.
Good news indeed. Wouldn’t it be awful/ironic/(you fill in the blank) if the feeding tube has been in the wrong position all this time? Sure hope they can figure that one out! We await further news with great hope and anticipation.
OMG I am FINALLY getting those 15 minutes of fame!!! I am SO “ready for my close-up Mr. DeMille”!!!!! I will submit my resume and publicity photo very soon; I just have to cut and paste the beautiful dancer and send it to my agent. Then all it will take is for the NIH people to call my people and we’ll do lunch!!! I am also osmotically (is that a word?) fixing that **!@*# feeding tube Gary!!!
Excuse me for now, I MUST starting writing my memoir…….
