Everything went great yesterday with Sarah's SIR sphere treatment. We got to the University of Illinois at Chicago hospital at 6am and Sarah was done and back in the recovery room by 11am. She had pretty bad nausea afterwards but that is likely due to the anesthesia - the nausea has mostly subsided now that she's back home. There doesn't seem to be any lasting pain at this point -- just some pain when they initially delivered the treatment to her liver. We ended up leaving the hospital at around 9pm. While we were out, Sam made Sarah a little wood sign which you can see in the pic above -- "I love my Mom." It was very sweet!Sarah is taking it easy today to make sure her stomach gets back to normal, plus she needs to go easy on her right leg where the incision for the angio catheter is. Otherwise, she's doing well. Now we need to pray that the treatment is effective. She'll get a blood test in 2 weeks to verify her liver is functioning fine and then we hope to get her back on Herceptin and chemo so the rest of her body is "covered." We have to wait 3 months to do a follow-up PET scan on her liver to see how effective this SIR sphere treatment was in killing off her large liver tumor (they said it was pretty much taking up all of her liver's left lobe now) - the doc said doing a test earlier could be inconclusive.

Thinking of you!
Thus, if you are holding certain problems like arrears, insolvency, defaults, skipped payments etc., you are welcome anyways. he is still able for such loans. With online fax, you can fax from anywhere. When download completes, install the program. One of the biggest mistakes that consumers make is obtaining far more than they need or borrowing money when they don't really have to borrow cash. These costs will vary from fax machine to fax machine, but there is one thing in common with every single fax machine and that is that every single time you receive a fax it costs you money. These modems are attached to telephone lines. It is still better for the environment to produce less garbage than to just recycle the garbage you have produced.
