Subject: Reid's Status 09.05.09
Greetings! I don't have much news about Reid's status for the day; I know he was scheduled to undergo quite a bit of testing, and we hope to have some results (including a more definitive diagnosis) soon.
A good source of info re: acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the website for the National Cancer Institute. You can find it at www.cancer.gov and then navigate to "leukemia" and then AML. What I like about this site in particular is that it's not run by a pharmaceutical company (as are many of the medical sites), so there's no particular agenda presented. It's pretty straight-forward info.
I've set up an online calendar so we can coordinate peoples' visits at OHSU. (Thanks to Stacey Morgan for the calendar tip.) Many of you will have already received an email notifying you of your "membership" in the calendar community. Please confirm your membership and sign in, and let me know specific dates than you want to head north to support Reid. Please don't give me a range of dates or a list of dates you can't make it; just let me know when you are able to go, and I'll put you on the calendar. If you have not received an email designating you as a "member" of the calendar community and you want to go to Portland to support Reid, please email me and let me know. I've added Reid's family as "members," but I don't want to assume that non-family folks are ready to make such a commitment. Just let me know, and you'll become part of the virtual family.Thanks.
