CHARM - Thanks again for the tip on the THC - will discuss with my RO on Wednesday.

I went for the dental exam today - will need to have a molar extracted tomorrow, along with a cleaning. They also took impressions today for flouride trays, which should be ready when I go back tomorrow. I meet with my RO on Wednesday to schedule pre-treatment appts. I guess the ball is rolling and will probably start TX in @ 2 weeks or so. Getting real nervous about all of this - I put on a brave face for family - but you all know how terrified I am inside. The chemo doc prescribed an anti-anxiety pill for me - I wasn't going to get it filled, but am reconsidering!

Thanks again for your support.

Anita - What's the name of your son's friend's parents' diner in Hanover? My husband eats breakfast every Saturday morning at the Victory Diner while I'm at work - it's a real family-feeling restaurant and they all love him there-if he misses a Saturday, they worry @ him!
