A request for two very good friends

8. Wanted to give another update.

My friend Bev has been moved into rehab because she lost mobility due to being in bed, but she is building strength and making gains now. She is still on dialysis 3x week, but the Dr. is feeling that as soon as the excess fluid is taken care of and they wean her off of that, that she will be able to get back to her life.

Marcia is responding favorably to chemo, although it's been upsetting her stomach more than her doc would like. He changed the dosage and length of treatments, and that seems to be working much better for her. It does, however mean that she'll be having additional treatments at the end (3wks vs 9wks for the last round). The dr. is hopful that they can at least send anything that's left after debulking surgery into remission.

As of now, those are the updates. I had a dream about Marcia and Bill last night, so I'm hoping everything is still going as well. I guess no news is good news for the time being.
