OT - "Mini" Brooke Update 4-16-09
Good news in that there is NO news! For the second time, Brooke had no bad
reactions to her 15 minute "push" chemo session (the one that usually makes people really ill). Her biggest complaint is the mouth sores she has from it. Erin's pharmacist said that most of his chemo patients used a mouthwash that was much more effective than what Brooke is using (for one thing, it has lydocaine which helps deaden the pain). So Erin asked Brooke's oncologist to change her prescription, and the doctor refused to do so saying that what she had was the best available. Brooke was really suffering, so Erin took her to her family doctor and asked him to prescribe the mouthwash the pharmacist recommended. After the very first use Brooke got complete relief from the pain. As an added benefit, the new mouthwash comes in generic form (which the other didn't), so they're now saving about $60 a month on that prescription. Also, Brooke has completely come to terms with her hair loss - most of the time she doesn't even bother to wear her "do rags" or hats. And 4 of her boy friends have shaved their heads in support of her! Her parents really got it right with this child - to be that self confident, and that likable (along with being good at everything she does) at only 17 - well, it's just amazing! I'm SO proud of all of them. Brooke is very, very lucky to have such a fantastic support system. That's not to say that she never gets down - some of her MySpace daily comments make my cry for her. But still, she has the best of a very bad situation. As always, your purrs, prayers, thoughts and well wishes are very much appreciated (and I really mean that - I do believe in the power of prayer, purrs and positive thinking). Hugs, CatNipped |

OT - "Mini" Brooke Update 4-16-09
A grill near me who is about her age wears some really snazzy dangle
earrings and with no hair to get in the way, she really looks cool, so the kids say. Like her, several of this girls friends have shaved their heads also. "CatEyes" wrote in message ...

It's so good to know that Brooke is doing well. If she *has* to have cancer so young what she has is probably the best one. Which sounds stupid, I know, no cancer is best. However it is very treatable in younger people. My cousin had it and he is now fine, completely cured. He's just emigrated to New Zealand with a clean bill of health. Tweed |
