Minnie-It always seems to hit the parents of patients so hard. Even my mom keeps talking about "miracle cures" for my husband. My father in law even went so far as to tell his sister that Neil didn't have cancer in his lungs anymore when that's not the case-he just had an infection there as well. I try to put myself in their shoes. it must be so hard to see your child battling this disease.

If its any consolation, Neil's hair is growing back quickly after he stopped the Taxotere. He was as bald as a billiard and now I think it's growing back thicker and darker. See-there is an upside to chemo!

Keep on cheering, Sue
