    So good to hear from you

    And to know that you are doing well. Your family has so much going on. I know this will ease Wolfen's mind some to know you are doing well. Glad to hear about your platelets. Prayers for you for a speedy recovery and success with resuming your chemo.

    Soo good to hear from you and your doing better.   I know when I had that tooth extracted I had to wait a bit before they'd start the avastin again....they started the folfiri but held off on the avastin.
