Genetic Testing Confirmed...

Cheryl's blood test confirmed DPD Deficiency.

So, just like that, no testing, no awareness, she started chemo and it was over as soon as it began. She was aware of the side effects of the treatments and was prepared to deal with those.

I got word from her doctor about twenty minutes ago.

The emptiness and anger I have felt since last Friday now has a focus. Some way, the future for me and the only way I can make sense out of us losing her is to try and change the system to make testing common place.

Thank You Becca

I've been meaning to add this for a few days and its slipped past me.

Just wanted to let Becca know we all thank you for gathering the supplies for the animal shelter.

Here she is, just hope she's not like Cheryl as a couple of pets would find their way back to the house each visit!
