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.

Rita at Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, OR

Mom has been admitted to Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) in Portland, Oregon. After many tests today, she is in her room for the night. Her treatment will begin at 6am (8am CDT) tomorrow (Tuesday) morning. Mom will undergo BBBD treatment and will remain in the hospital over the next 4 days. Suzie is with her right now and Leslie will be there Wednesday through Saturday. Leslie will be flying back with Mom on Saturday.

Suzie says she is doing well...just very nervous.

I will be handling things from Kentucky and Tennessee this time. I had to be at the airport this week for a quarterly art installation for Arts at the Airport.

My mom really appreciates all of the wonderful entries in my her Guestbook. Thank you!

TEAMWORK pays off

With a determined doctor and a great team of family and friends, my mom's insurance provider, CHA, has confirmed that they will cover my mom's treatment at OHSU in Portland, OR. We want to greatly thank the efforts of Dr. Edward Neuwelt and his staff. We also would like to thank Dr. William Mitchell, CHA's CMO. Last, but not least, special thanks to family friend Stacey Irvin for her tireless research...Leslie Rudloff for reading between the lines and for your determination...and mom, for being our inspiration!

My mom will begin treatment on Monday, December 4th in Portland, Oregon. The treatment will take 4 days. My mom should be back in Kentucky by Sunday, December 10th.

Great work TEAM Rudloff...
