It looks like we're heading to Pittsburgh on Wednesday.  The Hillman Cancer Center at the University of Pittsburgh has agreed to see us (whatever that means).  We have a consult appt. on Thursday to see if there might be a clinical trial for which Bill is eligible.  We're hopeful that the answer will be yes, our Drs. here think the possibility is good.  So, we're hitting the road.

Since Bill has been feeling so tired lately, he has a weekly standing blood draw order including a blood transfusion if necessary.  Yesterday we went in for the blood draw thinking that if he was to have a transfusion it would be Monday at the earliest, since his blood is so difficult to find.  I guess we lucked out because they had two units of his blood ready for him.  So we were at the Cancer center from 11:30-7:30.  It was a very long day.  Hopefully, the extra blood will help him feel more himself for a while.  

We would love to be out and about in this lovely weather although I don't think the State Fair is on the agenda.  As always, thanks for your positive thoughts, cards and prayers.  Holly
