We have now officially embarked on the relatively new road
of immune modulating agents in the treatment of bladder cancer. The goal of
these agents is to boost the immune system to recognize as foreign the cancer
cells wherever they are found in the body and to kill them. Thanks to Barry for
helping me articulate this with eloquence and simplicity far beyond my own!
My heart is not quite in the game this time around the way
it will need to be to successfully navigate this new road. First, I forgot to
bring the family picture. Second, I did not select an appropriate t-shirt for
the occasion, although somehow the black turtleneck I am wearing today seems
appropriate. Third, we forgot to pick up some goodies for the nurses. I have
three weeks to get my act together before the next treatment on March 16th.
Meanwhile, thanks again for all your love and support, and have
a nice weekend.
Love,
Rebecca
