While we're waiting for results of genetic sequencing, Amanda has lots going on.  She's still working part-time.  Her employer, The Green Planet Dispensary, in Milwaukie has been great.  They're working around her numerous appointments and giving her lots of good moral support.

The fundraiser on Facebook has been incredibly successful!  Last night, the account was just a few dollars away from $4000.  Thank you so much to all the people who have shared and donated to this cause.  It really has alleviated Amanda's immediate financial worries. 

This Sunday, Linda, Amanda and I making a trip to Cle Elum.  We realize there are lots of paths to health and serenity.  Amanda will be visiting energy healer sisters, Shar & Dar who practice in Cle Elum.  Oh....we'll also visit our dear sister, Suzanne.  Ha Ha!  

Next week, we have an appointment with Social Security to initiate benefits.  Amanda enjoys her job and we hope she feels good enough to keep up a part-time schedule, but just in case, we want to make sure she has access to SSI and/or SDI.   

An appointment for radiation treatments has been set up.  These treatments could shrink tumors outside the lungs and therefore ease pain.  More on that later.
