Subject: [MOL] Good news on
Betty KI just spent about
an hour and a half on the phone with Betty Kula from Albuquerque...she
is in town to be evaluated by MDA. THe
testing was finished yesterday, and she will learn Tuesday if she checks
out to have this protocol they are trying on liver tumors. Prelim
results, like EEG blood pressure are all great for her age, and so they
are fairly hopeful to get the green light. Betty says she feels great
aside from tiring easily. I think the doctors here are amazed by
her overall health and condition, and feel she is a good candidate.
They have had a 30% success rate with the 50 or so (I forget the precise
# she gve me) patients that have tried this protocol. This is stunning
news to someone who was told there was no hope!! I am so happy for
her! SHe is
not sure of all the drugs, and felt until she was accepted it was premature
to ask. But I told her I would research and print out anything she
wants to know about. If
we get the wheelchair today, perhaps I can get Charlie over to her
hotel to visit. Also, if you want to send her any email, I will fax
it to her at the hotel if I do not get to hand deliver. 3
cheers for Betty! Keep her in your prayers to get accepted into the
program.
Sally
