Guest guest Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Hi , I have an appt to return to MDACC 8/24 to have some preliminary testing done, pulmonary I believe. I'm not sure if I stay at that time, or return home and go back at a later date. They are still working on my schedule. Thank you and I hope you are feeling better!

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Hi Jackie, here's a little humor on a serious subject. When my grand daughter Michele was in the 5th grade, I asked her if she would donate her bone marrow if I ever needed a transplant. Her reply was, " Of course Nana, I would be glad to help save your life, as long as I didn't have to have ANY needles!
