Yesterday was GREAT!
I haven't seen Angela with so much energy and vitality for some time. This round of chemo, without steroids, seems to have made a huge difference. Lupus type symptoms seem to be decreasing. Yahoo!

Went to a pharmacologist (ref by both of Angela's primary doctors), one who is actually anti-drug. She analyzed all the meds, vitamins and came up with a plan to minimize Angela's intake. She's eliminated some of the bad boys and increased supplements etc to balance everything out. She teaches at the U of M and is a consultant for some big pharma. She did it for free. Amazing. (insider info: take fish oils...they are life savers)

Angela's bones are a different story. I'm afraid if she sneezes too hard she'll loose a body part, as soon as the chemo is finished we're taking her in for retreads. In the mean time, as long as I keep the duck tape nearby, she should be fine...
