Update, Sept. 11th, 2012

Hi everyone, this is Stephanie writing again.

My mom had to be hospitalized again due to serious side effects of chemotherapy.  Suzi has written about it on her blog:

Mom continues to be in pretty good spirits, although she is weak from the suppression of her bone marrow, which has affected her ability to create new blood and platelets.  She has received several transfusions and is in the care of a number of wonderful doctors at Cedars Sinai hospital.  We now just have to wait for her body to metabolize the 5-FU and heal itself.  Then we'll have to see which direction we can go.

In the meantime, Suzi, Simone, and I have begun to learn Reiki to help both ourselves and my mom.  It's very centering.  We are grateful for all of your  good wishes, and love all of the positive energy streaming our way.

Love, Steph
