Sounds like a new t.v. series, or maybe I could write a book!!! Met with Dr. Holmberg today hoping for an answer from our insurance, but they won't have a decision for 72 hours. Of course, they don't include the 4th of July! Dr. Holmberg did get appointments made, regardless of the decision, for Dave to start chemo or TBI (total body irradiation) on the 11th. We were concerned about tumor growth, as Dave has an "aggressive fast-growing" lymphoma; however, Dr. Holmberg started Dave on Prednisone (steroid) to stop any progression until his chemo/TBI gets started. That gives us a little peace of mind, and we can enjoy Dave's brother (Mark) and his wife (Susan) who arrive tomorrow. I know that God has given us this little "break" for a reason, and we are thankful for that; I think we need to be re-charged! We really enjoyed our visit with our oldest daughter, Rachel, and her family. We hated to see them go, but I'm sure they will be back!

Well big brother you told me you don't need my stem cells right now. Just remember one thing I'm there whenever you need me. I can be there in 10 hours or sooner. Glad you and Jennifer enjoyed the fireworks with Mark & Susan. I guess if you aren't taking my stem cells I will just come over and vacation with Robin around the 19th. So Hope you guys are having a good time together. There's nothing like having a brother around to keep your spirits up. I will talk to you tomorrow. Little brother Rich
ReplyDeleteDave and Jenn, you have the best team. I thought Dr. Holmberg was very good. She explains everything completely, is very thorough and very intelligent. Rick was great too. Answered my phone calls quickly and always asked the right questions to find out how bad (or good) the situation was. Great team is right.
