Hi Ingrid:

I am feeling much better than usual now that they have cut my chemo by 20

percent and omitted the 5FU bolus. I just hope this is not too weak a strength

to kill the cancer cells. I cannot stand it at full strength. I was able

to eat breakfast today and even go outside with my tortoise and dogs and clean

up the backyard. It is sunny and beautiful here today in Calabasas.

How are you doing Ingrid?
