So, someone mentioned that they hadn't seen Christen listed as involved with any of this so we thought that should maybe be clarified! Chris, as you all know, is in Hawaii and the time difference makes phone calls difficult at times because she is at work when we do these conference calls. She has been involved in some of the family conference calls and informed later when she can't be due to work. The last conference call we had with her involved us being put on hold and getting the opportunity to enjoy some nice Hawaiian music:)
Christen has actually played a rather enormous role in getting Kathie into M.D. Anderson - as it was her boyfriend's uncle that got us into the back door. Carlos, the uncle, is a semi-retired radiologist oncologist who not only had connections, but apparently wrote the book when it came to radiology oncology - as our Dr. Rodriquez (surgeon for the colon) said he studied from a textbook by Carlos when he was in med school!
Chris may be coming home to Lafayette sometime after Kathie returns to help possibly after Kathie starts receiving chemo, although Kathie is trying to find a way to go to Hawaii instead - any excuse for a vacation.
Further updates, Lynette is coming in tonight with the girls. We all know how "Grandma" loves her twins!!!! As we told Dr. Rodriquez... the support system travels;) A HUGE thank you to Lynette's friends that have assisted by loaning some frequent fliers!!! Traveling in a band of three is no easy task on short notice! We are reminded everyday how many wonderful people still exist in this world, as you have all shown great love and support in so many ways! God bless - and add prayers that Kathie has a safe surgery and quick recovery so we can start kicking this cancer's a** - again, pun slightly intended;)
