Hi Brian,
Thanks for the reply. I particularly liked your second paragraph. I am an agnostic and I found your musings about God's hand in the whole scheme of things quite entertaining!
I am trying hard to be gently supportive and not obnoxiously overbearing. Actually, I think Heather has tolerated me quite well so far in this ordeal. I sometimes have to bite my tongue, but I'm getting better at keeping any non-productive advice to myself, i.e. the "eat your veggies" advice.
Heather is feeling better today. She didn't get sick after her treatment, but she also didn't get the amifostine injection. She's going to wait til Monday to start taking it again. If she feels better all weekend, then gets sick Monday, we'll know it's from the amifostine. If she has to discontinue it, we have several $26 a day pills left. Sure hope someone can use them at the treatment center. Too bad you can't get refunds on unused prescriptions! :p
