The Count down to Maintenance is almost complete.


I let myself think about it today as I drove back from Skagit County after a hearing.

Four More Ara-C
Two More Vincristine
9 More doses of Thiuguine

If all goes as planned, She should be done by the week of July 25th.

Someone said we were at the end of a Marathon. I think that is the wrong analogy.

I think we have to think of this as a Space Flight. Launch ( Intensive Treatment) takes a huge amount of energy to get into orbit. Once in orbit, you get to coast for a long lazy period while you do some experiments and observation. ( maintenance) You wait for re-entry, no effort required. ( Post- Treatment)

We are almost into Orbit. We are going to enjoy our time in Orbit.
