We're about to leave for Chicago so Suzie can visit with her sister, nieces and their families. Before we get underway I thought you'd like to know that Suzie's doctors decided that now was not a good time to take some peripheral blood and see if there is any change in the donor/patient relationship. Instead, they want to add the drug Revlimid to her daily list to see if this medication will help her fight the cancer. Problem is that Blue Cross will not authorize the use of the drug because it is not on the FDA's approved list of drugs that can be used to combat Myelofibrosis. Trick now is for the doctors to find a drug that can help!

We'll keep you posted,

Mike
