Round Three of Batten Down the Hatches

What a miracle that nobody was killed. I saw on the National that particular stretch has always been a bad area.

By the way, my husband had non H Lymphoma and they treated him successfully for that, it did not reoccur. That was way back in the mid 80s and he had a new treatment regimen worked out by UBC so doubtless your brother will receive even better now.

It's a combination of the terrain, weather, and drivers who drive too fast for conditions. Nearly every winter there is a bad pile-up in that stretch.

Thanks - yes, it's amazing how far treatments have come in a very short time. Fortunately, my DSIL works for one of the internists at the local Hospital, and they got his chemo started immediately. Already the pain in his back (that they mistakenly putting down to muscle strain) is gone, but there are still some rough days ahead.

It's been a rough year for the family. Last summer, my 21-year old nephew was treated for thyroid cancer, and less nine months later his Dad is diagnosed with this. It does help that, as I said, my DSIL is a nurse, so she is able to monitor his medication. He is having a 'pic' line put in so that he doesn't have to travel to Sudbury for his chemo; they can do it at the local hospital.

He'll do well, you'll see. Thinking good thoughts for him.
