Hello Everyone:
I was able to get some updates on Christine's condtion from her Mom at City of Hope. First, reaching new levels of notariety, Christine has been listed on defamer.com on May 2nd, sandwiched between "Free Katie Holmes" and "Andy Dick's Beerjacking" in a posting entitled, "F*CK CANCER" (this all brought a smile to Christine's face)... Christine's May 2nd posting is presently on page 3 of defamer.com (link below) but you may have to page further to find it as the days progress)...

Christine is doing well but she's been given a lot of medications that makes her very sleepy. She remains in good spirits... as they wheeled her into surgery and began strapping down her arms and legs Christine lightened the moment with, "So this is what it feels like to be abducted by aliens"...
The surgery went well without complications and she was brought immediately back to her room to start the chemo (Christine didn't even have time to fluff her pillow before the drip started...) The rest of the day was a haze in and out of conciousness...
Christine sends her love to everyone and is asking everyone to PLEASE, PLEASE continue their wonderful efforts to find that desperately needed donor... (if you have any questions about how you can help with locating a donor please contact Christine's sister (info in a previous group posting)).
Also in a previous posting was how to get these easy to use mail-in self-sample swab kits that don't even require potential donors to go to a center. They can simply take a quick swab on the inside of their mouth and then drop the sample into the provided mail in container (easy as that)!!! The previous post explains how to get as many of these as you want to pass out to your Filipino friends and neighbors!!! Being incapacitated, there's not much Christine will be able to do now, so it will be up to all of us to keep up the search...
If things go well, Christine may be going home as early as Sunday.
The same restrictions on gifts and visits apply at COH (no flowers, balloons, stuffed animals, etc. as per the previous post). And no hugs... but I'm told great foot massages are gladly accepted :) Christine LOVES art! So any pictures, posters, cards would really brighten up the room at COH! Also MUSIC... healing music, rock out music or your own mixes always make her smile!
I'll let you know whatever additional information I hear... until then let's keep looking for that match! Christine appreciates everyone's efforts more than you could know...
Take Care... Mike.
