@ UCSF today, Irene saw her oncologist, (pic with Dr. Lloyd Damon) who has been treating her Primary Amyloidosis since 2007.  There is no indication that the amyloid has returned though final blood test results won’t be known for about a week.

Irene also saw her vascular surgeon, Dr. Charles Eichler, after a sonogram was completed on her right arm fistula region.  To date, the pain she experiences is a mystery with no known mitigation strategy.

Irene’s buoyancy and determination are awe inspiring given her daily challenges.  From her signature smile no one would ever guess she experiences 24/7 nausea.

Thanks for caring,
Dave
