Even with the upcoming surgery, there is still time to squeeze in and make a difference.
I have an TV interview with CBS this Thursday, the day before surgery, as part of a larger story they are doing about cancer-awareness.
As soon as I am somewhat recovered, the following weekend I will be on KABC radio for a live interview.
And this week, the Aug/Sept issue of Audrey magazine features a story about my cancer journey, written by Jennifer Chen.
I was at City of Hope yesterday for Pre-Op tests and the usual rigamarole. Things are a go. It's hard to believe that I still have to ask for help this far out from treatment. I got sort of depressed about it at first but then realized how lucky I was to have friends who were still there for me.
With love,
Christine

Hi Christine, Splenectomy? Gall Bladder removal?? Please enlighten us fellow transplant patients. I hope you are okay and that your GVHD symptoms will be gone following surgery. Good Luck.
love, nancy
hi there! Thanks for your comment on project michelle. Your story is inspiring. I've been following your blog since I was first diagnosed last year and it has been so helpful to me. Gluck with your surgery. Please keep in touch!
Love,
Michelle Maykin
In answer to Nancy: GVH has affected my skin and digestive tract. Immuno-suppressants and steroids have helped somewhat. The surgery was to clear out some minor problems in the lower intestine. Everything went smoothly and I am at home recovering nicely. Thanks everyone for continuing to hang in there and support!
