                      just in case i missed anyone on the email here is the latest update on rosemary!


 


Rosemary has been doing well this week as she has waited for a sub-acute rehab center arrangement. It now seems that she is very likely to be moving tomorrow to the sub-acute care part of the McCarrick Care Center on Dellwood Lane, just off of DeMott Lane in Somerset, NJ, assuming that the final arrangements can be made. This is a very nice facility, with a good reputation, somewhat connected to the St. Peter's Hospital, that has a continuum of care and therapy arrangements for its patients.

But perhaps the biggest surprise was that Rosemary's oncologist yesterday decided that she is strong enough for a trial resumption of some chemotherapy. So tomorrow,before she moves, Rosemary is scheduled to receive a new chemotherapy treatment, her first cancer treatment since August. Hopefully this will be efficacious and well tolerated.

Mindy--thank you for the update!!! I have been wondering about Rosemary and I am delighted to know that she is improving so much and able to get some treatment for the cancer. She is a wonder!! I send her big gentle hugs and all the best to her family too. They will be having a happier Thanksgiving that's for sure!
Hugs,
Carol

Praying for our Mindy and that the start of chemo will get her back on track.
