January 2006

Allex has been having a tough time.  Feeding tube lasted about 30 hours before nausea won out.  We have added 3 new drugs to her mix to combat the headaches, nausea and grumpiness.  She is down to 100 pounds and missing half her hair.  I found a lung cancer specialist in St Louis who called me back and talked for about 30 minutes today.  He has an  associate in Seattle at Swedish who is willing to consult with us.  May lead to a trip to Missouri yet.  Overall her spirits are still good most days.
