Tessa is just about back to her old self. I haven't heard the word "remission" yet, but I think it is coming. She is on a 19 week protocol originating at UW Madison. Some weeks she barely seems to react to the chemo at all. Other weeks when she gets the heavy doses, it takes a few days for her appetite to come back. She is so sweet, and am glad she will be around for a few more years.
