Re: Karen Zaterman
Presuming I did not miss a posting, I was wondering how Karen is doing. It sounded like she was having a tough time at the hospital during our last event.

Re: Karen Zaterman
You guys gave Karen The Biggest Smile (=relief!) by making that Get Well card!!! Steve just dropped it off. Unfortunately we were both napping, having not slept much last night. We both thank you so much!
Biopsy op at 4 pm ...

Re: Karen Zaterman
As we suspected, lymphoma. Won't know until Monday exactly what type.
With the real surgeon Doc Martin. "Doc Martin" is one of our favorite English TV series. (Available on Netflix)
Doc is out of Hollywood casting. Think Roman K. in stature, but with an even deeper voice.

Re: Karen Zaterman
Well...we are certainly sorry to hear THAT. I'm scratching my head trying to figure out how we got from severe gastritis to lymphoma. We'll wait for further reporting. Where is she? Has she been in the hospital this entire time since the last event?Mako Koiwai wrote:As we suspected, lymphoma. Won't know until Monday exactly what type.

Re: Karen Zaterman
Huntington Memorial Hospital, Pasadena.
6 weeks ago she dropped out of our GoKart race after Practice, complaining of fatigue. She thought she had the flu, achiness, stomach upset. Her GP said it was gastritis. Put her on Nexum. She went to bed. Gradually the pain in her abdomen increased to the point that I finally got her to go to the ER. Karen is VERY stoic!

Re: Karen Zaterman
What's wrong with Karen? She's very smooth, just lacks a little aggression. Oh, you mean why she's laying around ...
Karen has peripheral T-cell lymphoma, NOS (not otherwise specified)
Chemo = CHOP + Etoposide.
6 treatments of Etoposide, three weeks apart, started this morning.
Bone marrow is still good. They are storing some of her bone marrow in case they need it later.
