 HN> Hope it's not as severe or quick as 
 HN> my Mother in law's was!

Signet-cell colon cancer metastasized to
the ureter. He's now on the same regimen
that they gave my sister - 5-FU as an
antimetabolite, leucovorin to counteract
the 5-FU, and CPT11 for I don't know why.
Not that pretty of a picture, but his
spirits are generally good.

 HN> Picked them up last night at Midnight.
 HN> Amanda's still coughing but feeling 
 HN> quite well. Both are tired, and we're
 HN> spending the day decompressing. 
 HN> Roast beef in the oven and we'll
 HN> eat in a couple of hours..at least
 HN> I'm hungry!!

Food is comfort, much of the time.
