Yes, I do have some news but it's not the news we were hoping for. Tabitha

has been eliminated, not due to the anatomy of her liver but because of

elevated liver functions. They were slightly elevated when she was evaluated

at 6 weeks ago, but they have gone up substantially since then. She

got word from her coordinator about 10:00 a.m., and they have cancelled all

of her tests.

The good side of this is that we'll have time to do something fun before we

leave. A little site seeing may be good for the two of us!

Of course, I'll write more when I can.

I saw the hepatologist and I told him about my eating Zofran every 2-3

hours, and he wasn't happy to hear that. He asked me why I was so sick all

the time...he's the doctor, if he doesn't know I'm sure I don't! I asked for

8mg. Rx to replace the 4mg. I have and he flat said, no, stating that this

is the stuff they give cancer patients and something must be wrong. So, what

this visit got me was an MRI of my brain. I will be having it done at home

along with the MRI of my spine. I'm thinking it may have a lot to do with

the growth on my spine, not something in my brain.

Tabitha has an appt. to see a gastrointerologist tomorrow to discuss her

high liver enzymes. I'm glad I'll be along since this is something I know a

thing or two about. I'm concerned for her, and hope this proves to be some

kind of strange fluke rather than a condition. Liver trouble isn't something

I would even want my worst enemy to have to endure.

Tab and I are trusting that all is going to work out for both of us!
