Dr. Lloyd Damon, Irene’s amazing oncologist at UCSF, is all grins because Irene continues to defy the odds; the Primary Amyloidosis remains in remission.  It’s now approaching 4 years (the stem cell transplant was in June of 2007)!!!  He’s so pleased with her progress that her next appointment is scheduled in October …!!!

“X” the chronic nausea (which is manageable but brutal at times) and 3 days a week of dialysis treatment, one would never suspect that Irene is plagued with a debilitating disease.

Thanks for caring,
Dave
