Rita is HOME!!!

I am happy to say that my mom is home! The treatment at OHSU is just what the doctor ordered...in many ways. My mom feels better and the treatment seems to be right for her mentally, physically and psychologically. The nurses and doctors at OHSU really feel they can help my mom, they are supportive of her and her ideas, and they are passionate that the BBBD treatment is right for my mom.
My mom will go through some tougher side effects than she has before, such as, a compromised immune system, hair loss and some aches and pains. She is ready to tackle things and feels confident. Blessing, blessing, blessing!

OHSU places patients going through BBBD treatment together in the hospital room during treatment. This was extremely helpful for my mom. She shared a room with Trudy. Trudy was several treatments ahead of my mom and was able to share her experience with my mom. They became friends and look forward to seeing one another again at OHSU.

My mom is home now...and greatly appreciates all of the cards, letters...and handmade cream candy (Sharon Cameron and Jim Bates)! Everyone has been so kind. Please feel free to call or write to my mom. Unfortunately, she can't have many visitors, as her immune system can not tolerate it right now.
