I KNOW!!!! I begged to get into the endostatin study a year ago, but I didn't meet the protocol. Fortunately, I got into this vaccine study. I just had my "midterm" CT scan yesterday. I'll have the PET scan on Tuesday. But I already pretty much know the tumor's gotten a bit bigger. Still, from what I know of the others in the study, this is really promising. > Yeah, I'm sorry I've been out of touch so much. Things are *so* sucky here, > financially, legally Reminds me of the movie title "Daddy's dying, who's got the will?" I've heard this type of story too often lately. I'm sorry you're going through this. It's so frustrating to have to deal with a life-threatening disease and worry about money. For me, if I weren't with Russ, I'd probably be homeless at this point. And that's after having earned a good salary for years... I wish I could help you.

My workshop is about lyric writing. We'll go over thing like form and the tools available to the lyric writer. Then we'll write a song as a group. > Anne, how's your pain, your energy levels? I've been in more pain the last few weeks. Even though the pain isn't usually deilitating, it's frightening. (Makes me wonder what's going on...) My energy has been pretty good, though. > *My* biggest problem now is > fatigue, and i hope i can work out a schedule with naps so i can do > *everything possible* at the fest; in any case, there's much will here, so > there'll be a way. :-) Tell me about it! And the Fest is right after a vaccine, so that should make it interesting. > Love to Ann (and to all), and counting the minutes to the Fest, Love back at ya, Walt! And I'm really looking forward to the Fest weekend! lots of love Anne
